Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm/32: Initialize CR4 shadow before __flush_tlb_all()
Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2018 23:49:54 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b07b6ae9-4b57-4b40-b9bc-50c2c67f1d91@default> (raw)

In x86_32, __flush_tlb_all() may have read cr4 shadow before the
initialization of cr4 shadow in cpuinit().

Fix it by adding cr4_init_shadow() call ahead of __flush_tlb_all().
