Subject: [PATCH v2] x86/power/64: Restore processor state before using per-cpu variables
Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2016 10:52:44 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1471024364-46217-1-git-send-email-thgarnie@google.com> (raw)
Restore the processor state before calling any other function to ensure
per-cpu variables can be used with KASLR memory randomization.
Tracing functions use per-cpu variables (gs based) and one was called
just before restoring the processor state fully. It resulted in a double
fault when both the tracing & the exception handler functions tried to
use a per-cpu variable.
