Subject: x86/pkeys/selftests: Add PROT_EXEC test
From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 6af17cf89e99b64cf1f660bf848755442ab2f047 ]
Under the covers, implement executable-only memory with
protection keys when userspace calls mprotect(PROT_EXEC).
But, we did not have a selftest for that. Now we do.
