[PATCH 2/2] x86/selftests/pkeys: fork() to check for state being preserved

From: Dave Hansen
Date: Fri Oct 26 2018 - 15:57:36 EST



From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

There was a bug where the per-mm pkey state was not being preserved
across fork() in the child. fork() is performed in the pkey
selftests, but all of our pkey activity is performed in the parent.
The child does not perform any actions sensitive to pkey state.

To make the test more sensitive to these kinds of bugs, add a
fork() where we let the parent exit, and continue execution in
the child.
