Aruna Ramakrishna 84ee6e8d19 x86/pkeys: Add helper functions to update PKRU on the sigframe
In the case where a user thread sets up an alternate signal stack protected
by the default PKEY (i.e. PKEY 0), while the thread's stack is protected by
a non-zero PKEY, both these PKEYS have to be enabled in the PKRU register
for the signal to be delivered to the application correctly. However, the
PKRU value restored after handling the signal must not enable this extra
PKEY (i.e. PKEY 0) - i.e., the PKRU value in the sigframe has to be
overwritten with the user-defined value.

Add helper functions that will update PKRU value in the sigframe after
XSAVE.

Note that sig_prepare_pkru() makes no assumption about which PKEY could
be used to protect the altstack (i.e. it may not be part of init_pkru),
and so enables all PKEYS.

No functional change.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
