Could you please send patches not as MIME attachments? Also, the protection keys testcase first need to be fixed, before we complicate them - for example on a pretty regular Ubuntu x86-64 installation they fail to build with the build errors attached further below. On an older Fedora 23 installation, the testcases themselves don't build at all: fomalhaut:~/tip2/tools/testing/selftests/x86> make protection_keys gcc -O2 -g -std=gnu99 -pthread -Wall -no-pie protection_keys.c -o protection_keys gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-no-pie’ <builtin>: recipe for target 'protection_keys' failed make: *** [protection_keys] Error 1 so it's one big mess at the moment that needs some love ...
