[PATCH 06/11] x86/mm/64: In vmalloc_fault(), use CR3 instead of current->active_mm
From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Thu Jul 14 2016 - 16:23:21 EST
If we get a vmalloc fault while current->active_mm->pgd doesn't
match CR3, we'll crash without this change. I've seen this failure
mode on heavily instrumented kernels with virtually mapped stacks.
