Andy Lutomirski bf00745e77 x86/vsyscall: Remove CONFIG_LEGACY_VSYSCALL_EMULATE
CONFIG_LEGACY_VSYSCALL_EMULATE is, as far as I know, only needed for the
combined use of exotic and outdated debugging mechanisms with outdated
binaries. At this point, no one should be using it. Eventually, dynamic
switching of vsyscalls will be implemented, but this is much more
complicated to support in EMULATE mode than XONLY mode.

So let's force all the distros off of EMULATE mode. If anyone actually
needs it, they can set vsyscall=emulate, and the kernel can then get
away with refusing to support newer security models if that option is
set.

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.
