    selftests/x86/mm: Add new test that userspace stack is in fact NX · 802e87cc
    Alexey Dobriyan authored
    Here is how it works:
    
     * fault and fill the stack from RSP with INT3 down until rlimit allows,
    
     * fill upwards with INT3 too, overwrite libc stuff, argv, envp,
    
     * try to exec INT3 on each page and catch it in either SIGSEGV or
       SIGTRAP handler.
    
    Note: trying to execute _every_ INT3 on a 8 MiB stack takes 30-40 seconds
    even on fast machine which is too much for kernel selftesting
    (not for LTP!) so only 1 INT3 per page is tried.
    
    Tested on F37 kernel and on a custom kernel which does:
    
    	vm_flags |= VM_EXEC;
    
    to stack VMA.
    
    Report from the buggy kernel:
    
    	$ ./nx_stack_32
    	stack min ff007000
    	stack max ff807000
    	FAIL    executable page on the stack: eip ff806001
    
    	$ ./nx_stack_64
    	stack min 7ffe65bb0000
    	stack max 7ffe663b0000
    	FAIL    executable page on the stack: rip 7ffe663af001
