[PATCH v2] x86/power/64: Restore processor state before using per-cpu variables

From: Thomas Garnier <hidden>
Date: 2016-08-12 17:53:14
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: hibernation (aka software suspend, aka swsusp), suspend to ram, the rest · Maintainers: "Rafael J. Wysocki", Linus Torvalds

Restore the processor state before calling any other function to ensure
per-cpu variables can be used with KASLR memory randomization.

Tracing functions use per-cpu variables (gs based) 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.
