Title:
  Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS with kerne 4.4.0-109-generic, segfaults vsyscalls

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The following ubuntu xenial version segfaults any program trying to
  read its own vsyscall memory segment. The affected ubuntu version:

  Vagrant box: ubuntu/xenial64 (v20180112.0.0)
  Kernel: 4.4.0-109-generic

  Executing the following program segfaults:

  // gcc -g -O0 <file>
  int main() {
    // You use gdb to pause the program and 
    // check through /proc/<pid>/maps that this 
    // memory addrs is mapped to [vsyscall]
    return *(int*)(0xffffffffff600000);
  }

  The following two versions work fine:

  Vagrant box: ubuntu/bionic64 (v20180115.1.0)
  Kernel: 4.13.0-25-generic

  Vagrant box: ubuntu/xenial64 (v20171028.0.0)
