The kernel is very erratic as to which pagetables have _PAGE_USER set. The vsyscall page gets lucky: it seems that all of the relevant pagetables are among the apparently arbitrary ones that set _PAGE_USER. Rather than relying on chance, just explicitly set _PAGE_USER. This will let us clean up pagetable setup to stop setting _PAGE_USER. The added code can also be reused by pagetable isolation to manage the _PAGE_USER bit in the usermode tables.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
