There's currently no test coverage of NX hugepages in KVM selftests, so add a basic test to ensure that the feature works as intended. The test creates a VM with a data slot backed with huge pages. The memory in the data slot is filled with op-codes for the return instruction. The guest then executes a series of accesses on the memory, some reads, some instruction fetches. After each operation, the guest exits and the test performs some checks on the backing page counts to ensure that NX page splitting an reclaim work as expected.

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.
