4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Andy Lutomirski <l...@kernel.org>
commit 49275fef986abfb8b476e4708aaecc07e7d3e087 upstream.
The kernel is very erratic as to which pagetables have _PAGE_USER set. The
vsyscall page gets lucky: it seems that all of the relevant pagetables are
among the apparently arbitrary ones that set _PAGE_USER. Rather than
relying on chance, just explicitly set _PAGE_USER.
This will let us clean up pagetable setup to stop setting _PAGE_USER. The
added code can also be reused by pagetable isolation to manage the
_PAGE_USER bit in the usermode tables.
