Aneesh Kumar K.V 19ab500edb powerpc/mm/pkeys: Make pkey access check work on execute_only_key 
Jan reported that LTP mmap03 was getting stuck in a page fault loop
after commit c46241a370 ("powerpc/pkeys: Check vma before returning
key fault error to the user"), as well as a minimised reproducer:

  #include <fcntl.h>
  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <stdlib.h>
  #include <unistd.h>
  #include <sys/mman.h>

  int main(int ac, char **av)
  {
  	int page_sz = getpagesize();
  	int fildes;
  	char *addr;

  	fildes = open("tempfile", O_WRONLY | O_CREAT, 0666);
  	write(fildes, &fildes, sizeof(fildes));
  	close(fildes);

  	fildes = open("tempfile", O_RDONLY);
  	unlink("tempfile");

  	addr = mmap(0, page_sz, PROT_EXEC, MAP_FILE | MAP_PRIVATE, fildes, 0);

  	printf("%d\n", *addr);
  	return 0;
  }

And noticed that access_pkey_error() in page fault handler now always
seem to return false:

  __do_page_fault
    access_pkey_error(is_pkey: 1, is_exec: 0, is_write: 0)
      arch_vma_access_permitted
	pkey_access_permitted
	  if (!is_pkey_enabled(pkey))
	    return true
      return false

pkey_access_permitted() should not check if the pkey is available in
UAMOR (using is_pkey_enabled()). The kernel needs to do that check
only when allocating keys. This also makes sure the execute_only_key
which is marked as non-manageable via UAMOR is handled correctly in
pkey_access_permitted(), and fixes the bug.

README 

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 Restructured Text 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.
