Dave Hansen 316d097c4c x86/pti: Filter at vma->vm_page_prot population
commit ce9962bf7e22bb3891655c349faff618922d4a73

0day reported warnings at boot on 32-bit systems without NX support:

attempted to set unsupported pgprot: 8000000000000025 bits: 8000000000000000 supported: 7fffffffffffffff
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at

The problem is that due to the recent commit which removed auto-massaging
of page protections, filtering page permissions at PTE creation time is not
longer done, so vma->vm_page_prot is passed unfiltered to PTE creation.

Filter the page protections before they are installed in vma->vm_page_prot.

Fixes: fb43d6cb91 ("x86/mm: Do not auto-massage page protections")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

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.
