[PATCH 4/4] x86/mm/32: Load a sane CR3 before cpu_init() on secondary CPUs

From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Sun Sep 17 2017 - 12:04:21 EST


For unknown historical reasons (i.e. Borislav doesn't recall),
32-bit kernels invoke cpu_init() on secondary CPUs with
intiial_page_table loaded into CR3. Then they set
current->active_mm to &init_mm and call enter_lazy_tlb() before
fixing CR3. This means that the x86 TLB code gets invoked while CR3
is inconsistent, and, with the improved PCID sanity checks I added,
we warn.

Fix it by loading swapper_pg_dir (i.e. init_mm.pgd) earlier.
