There has been a lot of activity on the x86 front around the XSAVE architecture which is used to context-switch processor state (among other things). In addition, AMD has recently joined the protection keys club by adding processor support for PKU. The AMD implementation helped uncover a kernel bug around the PKRU "init state", which actually applied to Intel's implementation but was just harder to hit. This series adds a test which is expected to help find this class of bug both on AMD and Intel. All the work around pkeys on x86 also uncovered a few bugs in the selftest. This patch (of 4): The "random" pkey allocation code currently does the good old: srand((unsigned int)time(NULL)); *But*, it unfortunately does this on every random pkey allocation. There may be thousands of these a second. time() has a one second resolution. So, each time alloc_random_pkey() is called, the PRNG is *RESET* to time(). This is nasty. Normally, if you do: srand(); foo = rand(); bar = rand(); You'll be quite guaranteed that 'foo' and 'bar' are different. But, if you do: srand(1); foo = rand(); srand(1); bar = rand(); You are quite guaranteed that 'foo' and 'bar' are the *SAME*. The recent "fix" effectively forced the test case to use the same "random" pkey for the whole test, unless the test run crossed a second boundary. Only run srand() once at program startup. This explains some very odd and persistent test failures I've been seeing.
