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. [ This backport should apply to kernels from 3.4 - 4.5. ] Fixes: 4c5023a3 ("x86-32: Handle exception table entries during early boot") Cc: H.
