selftests/x86/lam: Add inherit test cases for linear-address masking
LAM is enabled per-thread and gets inherited on fork(2)/clone(2). exec() reverts LAM status to the default disabled state. There are two test scenarios: - Fork test cases: These cases were used to test the inheritance of LAM for per-thread, Child process generated by fork() should inherit LAM feature from parent process, Child process can get the LAM mode same as parent process. - Execve test cases: Processes generated by execve() are different from processes generated by fork(), these processes revert LAM status to disabled status.

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.
