4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Andy Lutomirski <l...@kernel.org>
commit 924c6b900cfdf376b07bccfd80e62b21914f8a5a upstream.
Trying to reboot via real mode fails with PCID on: long mode cannot
be exited while CR4.PCIDE is set. (No, I have no idea why, but the
SDM and actual CPUs are in agreement here.) The result is a GPF and
a hang instead of a reboot.
I didn't catch this in testing because neither my computer nor my VM
reboots this way. I can trigger it with reboot=bios, though.
Fixes: 660da7c9228f ("x86/mm: Enable CR4.PCIDE on supported systems")
