Subject: [PATCH 5.3 56/95] x86/cpu_entry_area: Add guard page for entry stack on 32bit

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

commit 880a98c339961eaa074393e3a2117cbe9125b8bb upstream.

The entry stack in the cpu entry area is protected against overflow by the
readonly GDT on 64-bit, but on 32-bit the GDT needs to be writeable and
therefore does not trigger a fault on stack overflow.

Add a guard page.

Fixes: c482feefe1ae ("x86/entry/64: Make cpu_entry_area.tss read-only")
