Upstream commit: 7f0a002b5a21 ("x86/mm: remove vmalloc faulting") removed it on x86 alltogether because previously the arch_sync_kernel_mappings() interface was introduced. This interface added synchronization of vmalloc/ioremap page-table updates to all page-tables in the system at creation time and was thought to make vmalloc faulting obsolete. But that assumption was incredibly naive. It turned out that there is a race window between the time the vmalloc or ioremap code establishes a mapping and the time it synchronizes this change to other page-tables in the system. During this race window another CPU or thread can establish a vmalloc mapping which uses the same intermediate page-table entries (e.g. PMD or PUD) and does no synchronization in the end, because it found all necessary mappings already present in the kernel reference page-table. But when these intermediate page-table entries are not yet synchronized, the other CPU or thread will continue with a vmalloc address that is not yet mapped in the page-table it currently uses, causing an unhandled page fault and oops like below: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fe80c000 #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page *pde = 33183067 *pte = a8648163 Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP CPU: 1 PID: 13514 Comm: cve-2017-17053 Tainted: G ...

Keep arch_sync_kernel_mappings() in place and catch the race condition in the page-fault handler instead. Do a partial revert of above commit to get vmalloc faulting on x86-32 back in place.
