[PATCH 4.9 21/21] Map the vsyscall page with _PAGE_USER

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx>

This needs to happen early in kaiser_pagetable_walk(), before the
hierarchy is established so that _PAGE_USER permission can be really
set.

A proper fix would be to teach kaiser_pagetable_walk() to update those
permissions but the vsyscall page is the only exception here so ...
