[ Upstream commit 6039ca254979694c5362dfebadd105e286c397bb ]

The pkey test code keeps a "shadow" of the pkey register around.  This
ensures that any bugs which might write to the register can be caught more
quickly.

Generally, userspace has a good idea when the kernel is going to write to
the register.  For instance, alloc_pkey() is passed a permission mask.
The caller of alloc_pkey() can update the shadow based on the return value
and the mask.

But, the kernel can also modify the pkey register in a more sneaky way.
For mprotect(PROT_EXEC) mappings, the kernel will allocate a pkey and
write the pkey register to create an execute-only mapping.  The kernel
never tells userspace what key it uses for this.

This can cause the test to fail with messages like:

	protection_keys_64.2: pkey-helpers.h:132: _read_pkey_reg: Assertion `pkey_reg == shadow_pkey_reg' failed.

because the shadow was not updated with the new kernel-set value.

Forcibly update the shadow value immediately after an mprotect().

<title>selftests/vm/pkeys: handle negative sys_pkey_alloc() return code</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit bf68294a2ec39ed7fec6a5b45d52034e6983157a ]

The alloc_pkey() sefltest function wraps the sys_pkey_alloc() system call.
On success, it updates its "shadow" register value because
sys_pkey_alloc() updates the real register.

But, the success check is wrong.  pkey_alloc() considers any non-zero
return code to indicate success where the pkey register will be modified.
This fails to take negative return codes into account.

Consider only a positive return value as a successful call.

<title>selftests/vm/pkeys: fix alloc_random_pkey() to make it really, really random</title>

[ Upstream commit f36ef407628835a7d7fb3d235b1f1aac7022d9a3 ]

Patch series "selftests/vm/pkeys: Bug fixes and a new test".

There has been a lot of activity on the x86 front around the XSAVE
architecture which is used to context-switch processor state (among other
things).  In addition, AMD has recently joined the protection keys club by
adding processor support for PKU.

The AMD implementation helped uncover a kernel bug around the PKRU "init
state", which actually applied to Intel's implementation but was just
harder to hit.  This series adds a test which is expected to help find
this class of bug both on AMD and Intel.  All the work around pkeys on x86
also uncovered a few bugs in the selftest.

This patch (of 4):

The "random" pkey allocation code currently does the good old:

	srand((unsigned int)time(NULL));

*But*, it unfortunately does this on every random pkey allocation.

There may be thousands of these a second.  time() has a one second
resolution.  So, each time alloc_random_pkey() is called, the PRNG is
*RESET* to time().  This is nasty.  Normally, if you do:

	srand(&lt;ANYTHING&gt;);
	foo = rand();
	bar = rand();

You'll be quite guaranteed that 'foo' and 'bar' are different.  But, if
you do:

	srand(1);
	foo = rand();
	srand(1);
	bar = rand();

You are quite guaranteed that 'foo' and 'bar' are the *SAME*.  The recent
"fix" effectively forced the test case to use the same "random" pkey for
the whole test, unless the test run crossed a second boundary.

Only run srand() once at program startup.

This explains some very odd and persistent test failures I've been seeing.

Commit d8cbe8bfa7d ("tools/testing/selftests/vm: fix build error") tried
to include a ARCH check for powerpc, however ARCH is not defined in the
Makefile before including lib.mk.  This makes test building to skip on
both x86 and powerpc.

Fix the arch check by replacing it using machine type as it is already
defined and used in the test.

Patch series "userfaultfd: selftests: Small fixes".

Some very trivial fixes that I kept locally to userfaultfd selftest
program.

This patch (of 3):

BOUNCE_POLL is a special bit that if cleared it means "READ" instead.
Dump that too otherwise we'll see tests with empty modes.
