3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 03bbd596ac04fef47ce93a730b8f086d797c3021 upstream. If SMAP support is not compiled into the kernel, don't enable SMAP in CR4 -- in fact, we should clear it, because the kernel doesn't contain the proper STAC/CLAC instructions for SMAP support. Found by Fengguang Wu's test system. Reported-by: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@xxxxxxxxx> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140213124550.GA30497@localhost Signed-off-by: H.
