This applies on top of the earlier vdso pvclock series I sent out.
Once that lands in -tip, this will apply to -tip.

This series cleans up the hack that is our vvar mapping.  We currently
initialize the vvar mapping as a special mapping vma backed by nothing
whatsoever and then we abuse remap_pfn_range to populate it.

This cheats the mm core, probably breaks under various evil madvise
workloads, and prevents handling faults in more interesting ways.

To clean it up, this series:

 - Adds a special mapping .fault operation
 - Adds a vm_insert_pfn_prot helper
 - Uses the new .fault infrastructure in x86's vdso and vvar mappings
 - Hardens the HPET mapping, mitigating an HW attack surface that bothers me

Changes from v2:
 - Added patch 1, which is needed in -tip to fix the build
 - Fixed -EBUSY handling in vvar's .fault.

Changes from v1:
 - Lots of changelog clarification requested by akpm
 - Minor tweaks to style and comments in the first two patches

Andy Lutomirski (7):
  x86/vsdo: Fix build on PARAVIRT_CLOCK=y, KVM_GUEST=n
  mm: Add a vm_special_mapping .fault method
  mm: Add vm_insert_pfn_prot
  x86/vdso: Track each mm's loaded vdso image as well as its base
  x86,vdso: Use .fault for the vdso text mapping
  x86,vdso: Use .fault instead of remap_pfn_range for the vvar mapping
  x86/vdso: Disallow vvar access to vclock IO for never-used vclocks
