The Protection Key Rights for User memory (PKRU) is a 32-bit user-accessible register. It contains two bits for each protection key: one to write-disable (WD) access to memory covered by the key and another to access-disable (AD). Userspace can read/write the register with the RDPKRU and WRPKRU instructions. But, the register is saved and restored with the XSAVE family of instructions, which means we have to treat it like a floating point register. The kernel needs to write to the register if it wants to implement execute-only memory or if it implements a system call to change PKRU. To do this, we need to create a 'pkru_state' buffer, read the old contents in to it, modify it, and then tell the FPU code that there is modified data in there so it can (possibly) move the buffer back in to the registers. This uses the fpu__xfeature_set_state() function that we defined in the previous patch.
