Subject: [PATCH 2/3] x86/boot: Fix another __read_cr4() case on 486
Date: Wed, 28 Sep 2016 12:34:15 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <70dfb68f8f312764d5f6aca6e2aa6d7dc76df6e4.1475091074.git.luto@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1475091074.git.luto@kernel.org>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1475091074.git.luto@kernel.org>
The condition for reading CR4 was wrong: there are some CPUs with
CPUID but not CR4. Rather than trying to make the condition exact,
using __read_cr4_safe().
Reported-by: david@saggiorato.net
Fixes: 18bc7bd523e0 ("x86/boot: Synchronize trampoline_cr4_features and mmu_cr4_features directly")
