This is failing on machines without pkeys:

  test: ptrace_pkey
  tags: git_version:52e7d87
  [FAIL] Test FAILED on line 117
  [FAIL] Test FAILED on line 191
  failure: ptrace_pkey


I think the first fail is in the child here:

int ptrace_read_regs(pid_t child, unsigned long type, unsigned long regs[],
		     int n)
{
	struct iovec iov;
	long ret;

	FAIL_IF(start_trace(child));

	iov.iov_base = regs;
	iov.iov_len = n * sizeof(unsigned long);

	ret = ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGSET, child, type, &iov);
	FAIL_IF(ret != 0);


Which makes sense.

The test needs to skip if pkeys are not available/enabled. Using the
availability of the REGSET might actually be a nice way to detect that,
because it's read-only.

cheers
