Subject: [PATCH v2 08/12] x86/vsyscall: Add vsyscall emulation for #GP

From: Sohil Mehta <sohil.mehta@...el.com>

The legacy vsyscall page is mapped at a fixed address in the kernel
address range 0xffffffffff600000-0xffffffffff601000. Prior to LASS being
introduced, a legacy vsyscall page access from userspace would always
generate a page fault. The kernel emulates the execute (XONLY) accesses
in the page fault handler and returns back to userspace with the
appropriate register values.

Since LASS intercepts these accesses before the paging structures are
traversed it generates a general protection fault instead of a page
fault. The #GP fault doesn't provide much information in terms of the
error code. So, use the faulting RIP which is preserved in the user
registers to emulate the vsyscall access without going through complex
instruction decoding.
