Hi Michael,

Generally LGTM, few comments below.

nit: It'd be more readable using list:
* The three cases exercise different code paths:
* - a kernel-space address * is rejected by the kernel's user-space address
* check before physical page resolution
* - unmapped memory fails at find_vma() (no VMA exists)
* - PROT_NONE memory fails at get_user_pages_fast() (VMA exists but page
* is inaccessible)

nit: If all errors are EFAULT why not use it directly in TST_EXP_FAIL?
But more important is that I got a different errno (EINVAL) on 7.0.x kernel on
old kernel spec:
futex_wake05.c:77: TINFO: Testing variant: syscall with old kernel spec
futex_wake05.c:68: TFAIL: uaddr kernel address expected EFAULT: EINVAL (22)
When compiling 32 bit, I get error on both specs:
PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/lib/pkgconfig CFLAGS=-m32 LDFLAGS=-m32 ./configure
...
futex_wake05.c:77: TINFO: Testing variant: syscall with old kernel spec
futex_wake05.c:68: TPASS: uaddr unmapped : EFAULT (14)
futex_wake05.c:68: TPASS: uaddr PROT_NONE : EFAULT (14)
futex_wake05.c:68: TFAIL: uaddr kernel address expected EFAULT: EINVAL (22)
futex_wake05.c:77: TINFO: Testing variant: syscall time64 with kernel spec
futex_wake05.c:68: TPASS: uaddr unmapped : EFAULT (14)
futex_wake05.c:68: TPASS: uaddr PROT_NONE : EFAULT (14)
futex_wake05.c:68: TFAIL: uaddr kernel address expected EFAULT: EINVAL (22)
I tested very old kernel 4.4 (SLE12-SP3 we still support) and it behaves the
same. Do you really get EFAULT?
Kind regards,
Petr
