Changes in v2 from the cover letter
- Rebase on top of tip:x86/mm, now that a bunch of v1 was applied. The only material changes are that 'x86/fault: Check user_mode(regs) when validating a stack extension' is gone because the code it fixed has been deleted and that 'x86/fault:
Remove sw_error_code' lost the hunk that changed the same code.

Cover letter [PATCH v2 0/5] x86/fault: #PF improvements, mostly related to USER bit
This series is a whole bunch of page fault cleanups, plus a couple of OOPS diagnostic improvements. The overall goals are to clean up handling of the faulting CPL, the USER bit in the error_code, and the log messages generated by #PF OOPSes.
This series can also be seen as CET preparation. CET introduces the WRUSS instruction, which is the very first way for CPL 0 code to cause a #PF fault with the USER bit set. Let's get the page fault code into shape before we start using WRUSS :)
