If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Kirill A. Shutemov [ 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.
