commit fc0e81b2 upstream. On the 80486 DX, it seems that some exceptions may leave garbage in the high bits of CS. This causes sporadic failures in which early_fixup_exception() refuses to fix up an exception. As far as I can tell, this has been buggy for a long time, but the problem seems to have been exacerbated by commits: 1e02ce4c ("x86: Store a per-cpu shadow copy of CR4") e1bfc11c ("x86/init: Fix cr4_init_shadow() on CR4-less machines") This appears to have broken for as long as we've had early exception handling. [ Note to stable maintainers: This patch is needed all the way back to 3.4, but it will only apply to 4.6 and up, as it depends on commit: 0e861fbb ("x86/head: Move early exception panic code into early_fixup_exception()") If you want to backport to kernels before 4.6, please don't backport the prerequisites (there was a big chain of them that rewrote a lot of the early exception machinery); instead, ask me and I can send you a one-liner that will apply. ] Reported-by: Matthew Whitehead <tedheadster@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Cc: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com> Cc: H.
