Memory protection keys enables an application to protect its address space from
inadvertent access by its own code.
This feature is now enabled on powerpc architecture and integrated in
4.16-rc1. The patches move the selftests to arch neutral directory
and enhance their test coverage.
Test
----
Verified for correctness on powerpc
and on x86 architectures(using EC2 ubuntu VM instance).
History:
-------
version 12:
(1) fixed the offset of pkey field in the siginfo structure for
x86_64 and powerpc. And tries to use the actual field
if the headers have it defined.
version 11:
(1) fixed a deadlock in the ptrace testcase.
version 10 and prior:
(1) moved the testcase to arch neutral directory
(2) split the changes into incremental patches.
