            Bug ID: 25954
           Summary: Missing content-synchronizing instructions in pkey_set
                    on POWER
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW

             Flags: security-

Sandipan Das reported this bug against the kernel protection key self-tests:

=E2=80=9C
The Power ISA mandates that all writes to the Authority
Mask Register (AMR) must always be preceded as well as
succeeded by a context-synchronizing instruction. This
applies to both the privileged and unprivileged variants
of the Move To AMR instruction.

This [requirement] is from Table 6 of Chapter 11 in page 1134 of Power
ISA 3.0B. The document can be found here:
https://ibm.ent.box.com/s/1hzcwkwf8rbju5h9iyf44wm94amnlcrv
=E2=80=9D

bf8.1588959697.git.sandipan@linux.ibm.com/>

We need to add these additonal instructions to the pkey_set implementation =
in
glibc, too.
