[PATCH 4.4 05/93] x86/init: Fix cr4_init_shadow() on CR4-less machines

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Oct 06 2016 - 04:55:08 EST


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

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

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit e1bfc11c5a6f40222a698a818dc269113245820e upstream.

cr4_init_shadow() will panic on 486-like machines without CR4. Fix
it using __read_cr4_safe().
