[PATCH PTI v2 0/6] Clean up pgd handling and fix VSYSCALL and LDT

I'm getting reasonably happy with this. It still needs more testing,
but I want to get it out there.

The main things that need testing are the 5-level case for the both
vsyscalls and the LDT. I'm getting a double-fault in ldt_gdt_64,
but I haven't checked whether it's a bug in this series, and it
kind of looks like it isn't. I'll figure it out in the morning.
The docs also want updating for the 5 level case.

Changes from v1:
- vsyscalls actually work.
- Added the "Warn and fail" patch to prevent the testing goof I had on v1.
- Lots of cleanups

Andy Lutomirski (6):
x86/pti: Vastly simplify pgd synchronization
Revert "x86/mm/pti: Disable native VSYSCALL"
x86/vsyscall/64: Explicitly set _PAGE_USER in the pagetable hierarchy
x86/vsyscall/64: Warn and fail vsyscall emulation in NATIVE mode
x86/pti: Map the vsyscall page if needed
x86/pti: Put the LDT in its own PGD if PTI is on
