[ Upstream commit 16171bffc8 ]
Alex Shi reported the pkey macros above arch_set_user_pkey_access()
to be unused. They are unused, and even refer to a nonexistent
CONFIG option.
But, they might have served a good use, which was to ensure that
the code does not try to set values that would not fit in the
PKRU register. As it stands, a too-large 'pkey' value would
be likely to silently overflow the u32 new_pkru_bits.
Add a check to look for overflows. Also add a comment to remind
any future developer to closely examine the types used to store
pkey values if arch_max_pkey() ever changes.
This boots and passes the x86 pkey selftests.

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.
