pkey_sighandler_tests.c currently hardcodes x86 PKRU encodings. The first step towards running those tests on arm64 is to abstract away the pkey register values. Since those tests want to deny access to all keys except a few, we have each arch define PKEY_REG_ALLOW_NONE, the pkey register value denying access to all keys. We then use the existing set_pkey_bits() helper to grant access to specific keys. Because pkeys may also remove the execute permission on arm64, we need to be a little careful: all code is mapped with pkey 0, and we need it to remain executable. pkey_reg_restrictive_default() is introduced for that purpose: the value it returns prevents RW access to all pkeys, but retains X permission for pkey 0. test_pkru_preserved_after_sigusr1() only checks that the pkey register value remains unchanged after a signal is delivered, so the particular value is irrelevant. We enable pkey 0 and a few more arbitrary keys in the smallest range available on all architectures (8 keys on arm64).

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.
