2.21.0

With vsyscall emulation on, we still expose a readable vsyscall page that contains syscall instructions that validly implement the vsyscalls. We need this because certain dynamic binary instrumentation tools attempt to read the call targets of call instructions in the instrumented code. If the instrumented code uses vsyscalls, then the vsyscal page needs to contain readable code.

Unfortunately, leaving readable memory at a deterministic address can be used to help various ASLR bypasses, so we gain some hardening value if we disallow vsyscall reads.

Given how rarely the vsyscall page needs to be readable, add a mechanism to make the vsyscall page be execute only.

Even if vsyscall=none, we report uer page faults on the vsyscall page as though the PROT bit in the error code was set. Add a comment explaining why this is probably okay and display the value in the test case.

While we're at it, explain why our behavior is correct with respect to PKRU.

This also modifies the selftest to print the odd error code so that you can run the selftest and see that the behavior is odd.

If anyone really cares about more accurate emulation, we could change the behavior.

The vDSO is only configurable by command-line options, so make its global variables __ro_after_init. This seems highly unlikely to ever stop an exploit, but I think it's nice anyway.
