From: Borislav Petkov Commit in Fixes added a global TLB flush on the early boot path, after the kernel switches off of the trampoline page table. Compiler profiling options add additional measurement code which needs to be initialized prior to use. The global flush in x86_64_start_kernel() happens before those initializations can happen, leading to accessing invalid memory. The second issue this fixes is with KASAN: for a similar reason, kasan_early_init() needs to have happened before KASAN-instrumented functions are called. Therefore, reorder the flush to happen after the KASAN early init and prevent the compilers from adding profiling instrumentation to native_write_cr4().
