9fd67b4ed0714ab718f1f9bd14c344af336a6df7 is the first bad commit
commit 9fd67b4ed0714ab718f1f9bd14c344af336a6df7
Author: Andy Lutomirski <luto@MIT.EDU>
Date:   Sun Jun 5 13:50:19 2011 -0400

    x86-64: Give vvars their own page
    
    Move vvars out of the vsyscall page into their own page and mark
    it NX.
    
    Without this patch, an attacker who can force a daemon to call
    some fixed address could wait until the time contains, say,
    0xCD80, and then execute the current time.
