This patch adds support for memory protection keys on AArch64 systems with
enabled Stage 1 permission overlays feature introduced in Armv8.9 / 9.4
(FEAT_S1POE) [1].
1. Internal functions "pkey_read" and "pkey_write" to access data
associated with memory protection keys.
2. Implementation of API functions "pkey_get" and "pkey_set" for
the AArch64 target.
3. AArch64-specific PKEY flags for READ and EXECUTE (see below).
4. New target-specific test that checks behaviour of pkeys on
AArch64 targets.
5. This patch also extends existing generic test for pkeys.
6. HWCAP constant for Permission Overlay Extension feature.
To support more accurate mapping of underlying permissions to the
PKEY flags, we introduce additional AArch64-specific flags. The full
list of flags is:
- PKEY_UNRESTRICTED: 0x0 (for completeness)
- PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS: 0x1 (existing flag)
- PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE: 0x2 (existing flag)
- PKEY_DISABLE_EXECUTE: 0x4 (new flag, AArch64 specific)
- PKEY_DISABLE_READ: 0x8 (new flag, AArch64 specific)
The problem here is that PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS has unusual semantics as
it overlaps with existing PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE and new PKEY_DISABLE_READ.
For this reason mapping between permission bits RWX and "restrictions"
bits awxr (a for disable access, etc) becomes complicated:
- PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS disables both R and W
- PKEY_DISABLE_{WRITE,READ} disables W and R respectively
- PKEY_DISABLE_EXECUTE disables X
Combinations like the one below are accepted although they are redundant:
- PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS | PKEY_DISABLE_READ | PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE
Reverse mapping tries to retain backward compatibility and ORs
PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS whenever both flags PKEY_DISABLE_READ and
PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE would be present.
This will break code that compares pkey_get output with == instead
of using bitwise operations. The latter is more correct since PKEY_*
constants are essentially bit flags.
It should be noted that PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS does not prevent execution.

From the GNU C Library manual, the pkey_set can receive a combination of
PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE and PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS. However PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS
is more restrictive than PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE and includes its behavior.
The test expects that after setting
(PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE|PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS) pkey_get should return the
same. This may not be true as PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS will succeed in
describing the state of the key in this case.
The pkey behavior during signal handling is different between x86 and
POWER. This change make the test compatible with both architectures.

This test was failing in some powerpc systems as it was not checking
for ENOSPC return.
As said on the Linux man-pages and can be observed by the implementation
at mm/mprotect.c in the Linux Kernel source. The syscall pkey_alloc can
return EINVAL or ENOSPC. ENOSPC will indicate either that all keys are
in use or that the kernel does not support pkeys.

This adds system call wrappers for pkey_alloc, pkey_free, pkey_mprotect,
and x86-64 implementations of pkey_get and pkey_set, which abstract over
the PKRU CPU register and hide the actual number of memory protection
keys supported by the CPU. pkey_mprotect with a -1 key is implemented
using mprotect, so it will work even if the kernel does not support the
pkey_mprotect system call.
The system call wrapers use unsigned int instead of unsigned long for
parameters, so that no special treatment for x32 is needed. The flags
argument is currently unused, and the access rights bit mask is limited
to two bits by the current PKRU register layout anyway.
