Subject: x86/kasan: Flush TLBs after switching CR3
From: Andrey Ryabinin <a.ryabinin@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 241d2c54c62fa0939fc9a9512b48ac3434e90a89 upstream.
load_cr3() doesn't cause tlb_flush if PGE enabled.
This may cause tons of false positive reports spamming the
kernel to death.
To fix this __flush_tlb_all() should be called explicitly
after CR3 changed.
