Subject: [PATCH 4.17 172/324] x86/mm/32: Initialize the CR4 shadow before __flush_tlb_all()

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

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

From: Zhenzhong Duan <zhenzhong.duan@...cle.com>

[ Upstream commit 4fb5f58e8d191f7c81637ad81284e4848afb4244 ]

On 32-bit kernels, __flush_tlb_all() may have read the CR4 shadow before the
initialization of CR4 shadow in cpu_init().

Fix it by adding an explicit cr4_init_shadow() call into start_secondary()
which is the first function called on non-boot SMP CPUs - ahead of the
__flush_tlb_all() call.

( This is somewhat of a layering violation, but start_secondary() does
  CR4 bootstrap in the PCID case anyway. )
