Why not for X86 protection keys ?

This seems like kinda silly unnecessary duplication.  Could we just put
this in the fs/proc/ code and #ifdef it on ARCH_HAS_PKEYS?

Well x86 predicates it based on availability of X86_FEATURE_OSPKE.

powerpc doesn't need that check or any similar check. So trying to
generalize the code does not save much IMHO.

maybe have a seperate inline function that does
seq_printf(m, "ProtectionKey:  %8u\n", vma_pkey(vma));
and is called from x86 and powerpc's arch_show_smap()?
At least will keep the string format captured in 
one single place.

thoughts?

I know all your hardware doesn't support it. :)

So, for instance, if you are running on a new POWER9 with radix page
tables, you will just always output "ProtectionKey: 0" in every VMA,
regardless?

Now that we have two architectures, is there a strong reason we can't
just have an arch_pkeys_enabled(), and stick the seq_printf() back in
generic code?

Wow! you bring a good point which I had not considered yet. I need some
runtime checks for RPT.

But regardless, my above statement is still partially true. x86
predicates it based on availability of X86_FEATURE_OSPKE, and powerpc
should predicate it based on HPT. So we have our own
customized checks. Hence a unified function won't suffice.

correct. that looks like the correct approach. Was trying to avoid
touching arch neutral code. But this approach will force me
do so. Will do.
