Subject: [PATCH 2/3] x86/asm: Avoid taking an exception before cr4 restore
Date:   Tue, 26 Feb 2019 15:36:46 -0800
Message-Id: <20190226233647.28547-3-keescook@chromium.org>
In-Reply-To: <20190226233647.28547-1-keescook@chromium.org>
References: <20190226233647.28547-1-keescook@chromium.org>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Instead of taking a full WARN() exception before restoring a potentially
missed CR4 bit, this retains the missing bit for later reporting. This
matches the logic done for the CR0 pinning.
