Commit c46241a370a61 ("powerpc/pkeys: Check vma before
returning key fault error to the user") fixes a bug which
causes the kernel to set the wrong pkey in siginfo when a
pkey fault occurs after two competing threads that have
allocated different pkeys, one fully permissive and the
other restrictive, attempt to protect a common page at the
same time. This adds a test to detect the bug.

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.
