[PATCH] powerpc/book3s64/pkeys: Fix pkey_access_permitted w.r.t execute disable pkey

Even if the IAMR value deny the execute access, current kernel return true
w.r.t pkey_access_permitted() for execute permission check if the AMR
read pkey bit is cleared.

This results in repeated page fault loop with a test like below.

{
	return syscall(SYS_pkey_mprotect, addr, len, prot, pkey);
}

static int sys_pkey_alloc(unsigned long flags, unsigned long access_rights)
{
	return syscall(SYS_pkey_alloc, flags, access_rights);
}

static int sys_pkey_free(int pkey)
{
	return syscall(SYS_pkey_free, pkey);
}

{
	/* jump to region */
	asm volatile(
		"mtctr	%0;"
		"bctrl"
		: : "r"(region) : "ctr", "lr");
}

static void do_protect(void *region)
{
	size_t pgsize;
	int i, pkey;

	pgsize = getpagesize();

	pkey = sys_pkey_alloc(0, PKEY_DISABLE_EXECUTE);
	assert (pkey > 0);

	/* perform mprotect */
	assert(!sys_pkey_mprotect(region, pgsize, PROT_RWX, pkey));
	do_execute(region);

	/* free pkey */
	assert(!sys_pkey_free(pkey));

}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	size_t pgsize, numinsns;
	unsigned int *region;
	int i;

	/* allocate memory region to protect */
	pgsize = getpagesize();
	region = memalign(pgsize, pgsize);
	assert(region != NULL);
	assert(!mprotect(region, pgsize, PROT_RWX));

	/* fill page with NOPs with a BLR at the end */
	numinsns = pgsize / sizeof(region[0]);
	for (i = 0; i < numinsns - 1; i++)
		region[i] = PPC_INST_NOP;
	region[i] = PPC_INST_BLR;

	do_protect(region);

	return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
