Subject: [PATCH 4.9 31/66] vsyscall: Fix permissions for emulate mode with KAISER/PTI

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

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

From: Ben Hutchings <ben.hutchings@...ethink.co.uk>

The backport of KAISER to 4.4 turned vsyscall emulate mode into native
mode.  Add a vsyscall_pgprot variable to hold the correct page
protections, like Borislav and Hugh did for 3.2 and 3.18.
