4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Dave Hansen <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit 7e7fd67ca39335a49619729821efb7cbdd674eb0 ] The exec-only pkey is allocated inside the kernel and userspace is not told what it is. So, allow PK faults to occur that have an unknown key.
