Sebastian Andrzej Siewior b80a2dd4d7 x86/mm/pat: Disable preemption around __flush_tlb_all()
commit f77084d963 upstream.

The WARN_ON_ONCE(__read_cr3() != build_cr3()) in switch_mm_irqs_off()
triggers every once in a while during a snapshotted system upgrade.

The warning triggers since commit decab0888e ("x86/mm: Remove
preempt_disable/enable() from __native_flush_tlb()"). The callchain is:

  get_page_from_freelist() -> post_alloc_hook() -> __kernel_map_pages()

with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC enabled.

Disable preemption during CR3 reset / __flush_tlb_all() and add a comment
why preemption has to be disabled so it won't be removed accidentaly.

Add another preemptible() check in __flush_tlb_all() to catch callers with
enabled preemption when PGE is enabled, because PGE enabled does not
trigger the warning in __native_flush_tlb(). Suggested by Andy Lutomirski.

Fixes: decab0888e ("x86/mm: Remove preempt_disable/enable() from __native_flush_tlb()")

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
