Alexey Dobriyan 6d114116da proc: fix PIE proc-empty-vm, proc-pid-vm tests 
commit 5316a017d0 upstream.

vsyscall detection code uses direct call to the beginning of
the vsyscall page:

	asm ("call %P0" :: "i" (0xffffffffff600000))

It generates "call rel32" instruction but it is not relocated if binary
is PIE, so binary segfaults into random userspace address and vsyscall
page status is detected incorrectly.

Do more direct:

	asm ("call *%rax")

which doesn't do need any relocaltions.

Mark g_vsyscall as volatile for a good measure, I didn't find instruction
setting it to 0. Now the code is obviously correct:

	xor	eax, eax
	mov	rdi, rbp
	mov	rsi, rbp
	mov	DWORD PTR [rip+0x2d15], eax      # g_vsyscall = 0
	mov	rax, 0xffffffffff600000
	call	rax
	mov	DWORD PTR [rip+0x2d02], 1        # g_vsyscall = 1
	mov	eax, DWORD PTR ds:0xffffffffff600000
	mov	DWORD PTR [rip+0x2cf1], 2        # g_vsyscall = 2
	mov	edi, [rip+0x2ceb]                # exit(g_vsyscall)
	call	exit

Note: fixed proc-empty-vm test oopses 5.19.0-28-generic kernel
	but this is separate story.

README 

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.

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.
