x86/pkeys: Add self-tests This code should be a good demonstration of how to use the new system calls as well as how to use protection keys in general. This code shows how to: 1. Manipulate the Protection Keys Rights User (PKRU) register 2. Set a protection key on memory 3. Fetch and/or modify PKRU from the signal XSAVE state 4. Read the kernel-provided protection key in the siginfo 5. Set up an execute-only mapping There are currently 13 tests: test_read_of_write_disabled_region test_read_of_access_disabled_region test_write_of_write_disabled_region test_write_of_access_disabled_region test_kernel_write_of_access_disabled_region test_kernel_write_of_write_disabled_region test_kernel_gup_of_access_disabled_region test_kernel_gup_write_to_write_disabled_region test_executing_on_unreadable_memory test_ptrace_of_child test_pkey_syscalls_on_non_allocated_pkey test_pkey_syscalls_bad_args test_pkey_alloc_exhaust Each of the tests is run with plain memory (via mmap(MAP_ANON)), transparent huge pages, and hugetlb.
