[patch V163 03/51] x86/vsyscall/64: Warn and fail vsyscall emulation in NATIVE mode
From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Mon Dec 18 2017 - 07:09:39 EST
From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx>
If something goes wrong with pagetable setup, vsyscall=native will
accidentally fall back to emulation. Make it warn and fail so that we
notice.
