This fixes the way the Authority Mask Register (AMR) is updated
by the existing pkey tests and adds a new test to verify the
functionality of execute-disabled pkeys.
Previous versions can be found at:
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/20200527030342.13712-1-sandipan@linux.ibm.com/
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/20200508162332.65316-1-sandipan@linux.ibm.com/
Changes in v3:
- Fixed AMR writes for existing pkey tests (new patch).
- Moved Hash MMU check under utilities (new patch) and removed duplicate
code.
- Fixed comments on why the pkey permission bits were redefined.
- Switched to existing mfspr() macro for reading AMR.
- Switched to sig_atomic_t as data type for variables updated in the
signal handlers.
- Switched to exit()-ing if the signal handlers come across an unexpected
condition instead of trying to reset page and pkey permissions.
- Switched to write() from printf() for printing error messages from
the signal handlers.
- Switched to getpagesize().
- Renamed fault counter to denote remaining faults.
- Dropped unnecessary randomization for choosing an address to fault at.
- Added additional information on change in permissions due to AMR and
IAMR bits in comments.
- Switched the first instruction word of the executable region to a trap
to test if it is actually overwritten by a no-op later.
- Added an new test scenario where the pkey imposes no restrictions and
an attempt is made to jump to the executable region again.
Changes in v2:
- Added .gitignore entry for test binary.
- Fixed builds for older distros where siginfo_t might not have si_pkey as
a formal member based on discussion with Michael.
