[PATCH 4.7 56/69] PM / hibernate: Restore processor state before using per-CPU variables

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2016-09-28 09:13:37
Also in: lkml

4.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Garnier <redacted>

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)
