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.
