Kirill reported a warning from UBSAN about undefined behavior when using protection keys. He is running on hardware that actually has support for it, which is not widely available. The warning triggers because of very large shifts of integers when doing a pkey_free() of a large, invalid value. This happens because we never check that the pkey "fits" into the mm_pkey_allocation_map(). I do not believe there is any danger here of anything bad happening other than some aliasing issues where somebody could do: pkey_free(35); and the kernel would effectively execute: pkey_free(8); While this might be confusing to an app that was doing something stupid, it has to do something stupid and the effects are limited to the app shooting itself in the foot.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
