Subject: 4.14.9 with CONFIG_MCORE2 fails to boot

Hello,

4.14.9 fails to boot if CONFIG_MCORE2 is enabled and when compiled with
gcc 6+. More details in the following bug reports:

    x86/entry/64: Use a per-CPU trampoline stack for IDT entries

    commit 7f2590a110b837af5679d08fc25c6227c5a8c497 upstream.

    Historically, IDT entries from usermode have always gone directly
    to the running task's kernel stack.  Rearrange it so that we enter
on
    a per-CPU trampoline stack and then manually switch to the task's
stack.
    This touches a couple of extra cachelines, but it gives us a chance
    to run some code before we touch the kernel stack.

    The asm isn't exactly beautiful, but I think that fully refactoring
    it can wait.
