Subject: [PATCH v2] x86: test that userspace stack is in fact NX

Precedence: bulk

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

Changes since v1:

	i386 support
	nice pretty printing of test result
	cld in the SIGSEGV handler for robustness
	SIGSTKSZ is recommended not MINSIGSTKSZ
	better comments
