[PATCH 4.7 007/141] x86/init: Fix cr4_init_shadow() on CR4-less machines

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit e1bfc11c5a6f40222a698a818dc269113245820e upstream.

cr4_init_shadow() will panic on 486-like machines without CR4.  Fix
it using __read_cr4_safe().
