On v5 and lower CPUs we can't provide MDWE protection, so ensure we fail any attempt to enable it via prctl(PR_SET_MDWE). Previously such an attempt would misleadingly succeed, leading to any subsequent mmap(PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE) or execve() failing unconditionally (the latter somewhat violently via force_fatal_sig(SIGSEGV) due to READ_IMPLIES_EXEC).

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 reStructuredText 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.
