3.16.39-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Thomas Garnier <thgarnie@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 62822e2ec4ad091ba31f823f577ef80db52e3c2c upstream.
Restore the processor state before calling any other functions to
ensure per-CPU variables can be used with KASLR memory randomization.
Tracing functions use per-CPU variables (GS based on x86) 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.
Fixes: bb3632c6101b (PM / sleep: trace events for suspend/resume)
