Linus Torvalds 7b4ea9456d Revert "x86/mm/64: Do not sync vmalloc/ioremap mappings"
This reverts commit 8bb9bf242d.

It seems the vmalloc page tables aren't always preallocated in all
situations, because Jason Donenfeld reports an oops with this commit:

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffe8ffffd00608
  #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
  #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
  PGD 0 P4D 0
  Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP

   ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30
  CR2: ffffe8ffffd00608

and that page fault address is right in that vmalloc space, and we
clearly don't have a PGD/P4D entry for it.

Looking at the "Code:" line, the actual fault seems to come from the
'pwq->wq' dereference at the top of the process_one_work() function:

        struct pool_workqueue *pwq = get_work_pwq(work);
        struct worker_pool *pool = worker->pool;
        bool cpu_intensive = pwq->wq->flags & WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE;

so 'struct pool_workqueue *pwq' is the allocation that hasn't been
synchronized across CPUs.

Just revert for now, while Joerg figures out the cause.

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.
