Kirill A. Shutemov d6cbf916f2 x86/vsyscall: Do not require X86_PF_INSTR to emulate vsyscall
[ Upstream commit 8ba38a7a9a699905b84fa97578a8291010dec273 ]

emulate_vsyscall() expects to see X86_PF_INSTR in PFEC on a vsyscall
page fault, but the CPU does not report X86_PF_INSTR if neither
X86_FEATURE_NX nor X86_FEATURE_SMEP are enabled.

X86_FEATURE_NX should be enabled on nearly all 64-bit CPUs, except for
early P4 processors that did not support this feature.

Instead of explicitly checking for X86_PF_INSTR, compare the fault
address to RIP.

On machines with X86_FEATURE_NX enabled, issue a warning if RIP is equal
to fault address but X86_PF_INSTR is absent.

README

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.
