[PATCH 3/4] selftests/vm/pkeys: Refill shadow register after implicit kernel write

[Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

The pkey test code keeps a "shadow" of the pkey register around.  This
ensures that any bugs which might write to the register can be caught
more quickly.

Generally, userspace has a good idea when the kernel is going to write
to the register.  For instance, alloc_pkey() is passed a permission
mask.  The caller of alloc_pkey() can update the shadow based on the
return value and the mask.

But, the kernel can also modify the pkey register in a more sneaky
way.  For mprotect(PROT_EXEC) mappings, the kernel will allocate a
pkey and write the pkey register to create an execute-only mapping.
The kernel never tells userspace what key it uses for this.

This can cause the test to fail with messages like:

	protection_keys_64.2: pkey-helpers.h:132: _read_pkey_reg: Assertion `pkey_reg == shadow_pkey_reg' failed.

because the shadow was not updated with the new kernel-set value.

Forcibly update the shadow value immediately after an mprotect().
