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 :)

Changes from v1:
  - 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.

Andy Lutomirski (5):
  x86/fault: Remove sw_error_code
  x86/fault: Don't try to recover from an implicit supervisor access
  x86/oops: Show the correct CS value in show_regs()
  x86/fault: Decode page fault OOPSes better
  x86/vsyscall/64: Use X86_PF constants in the simulated #PF error code
