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 decab0888e6e ("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: decab0888e6e ("x86/mm: Remove preempt_disable/enable() from __native_flush_tlb()")
