[PATCH v14 00/22] selftests, powerpc, x86 : Memory Protection Keys

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.

History:
-------
version 14:
	(1) incorporated another round of comments from Dave Hansen.

version 13:
        (1) Incorporated comments for Dave Hansen.
	(2)   Added one more test for correct pkey-0 behavior.

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.
