x86/mm/64: Initialize CR4.PCIDE early
cpu_init() is weird: it's called rather late (after early identification and after most MMU state is initialized) on the boot CPU but is called extremely early (before identification) on secondary CPUs. It's called just late enough on the boot CPU that its CR4 value isn't propagated to mmu_cr4_features. Even if we put CR4.PCIDE into mmu_cr4_features, we'd hit two problems. First, we'd crash in the trampoline code. That's fixable, and I tried that. It turns out that mmu_cr4_features is totally ignored by secondary_start_64(), though, so even with the trampoline code fixed, it wouldn't help. This means that we don't currently have CR4.PCIDE reliably initialized before we start playing with cpu_tlbstate. This is very fragile and tends to cause boot failures if I make even small changes to the TLB handling code. Make it more robust: initialize CR4.PCIDE earlier on the boot CPU and propagate it to secondary CPUs in start_secondary(). ( Yes, this is ugly. I think we should have improved mmu_cr4_features to actually control CR4 during secondary bootup, but that would be fairly intrusive at this stage. ) Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Reported-by: Sai Praneeth Prakhya <sai.praneeth.prakhya@intel.com> Tested-by: Sai Praneeth Prakhya <sai.praneeth.prakhya@intel.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bpetkov@suse.de> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 660da7c ("x86/mm: Enable CR4.PCIDE on supported systems") Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
