The commit c75890700455 ("x86/entry/64: Remove unneeded kernel CR3 switching") removed a CR3 write in the faulting path of load_gs_index(). But the path's FENCE_SWAPGS_USER_ENTRY has no fence operation if PTI is enabled, see spectre_v1_select_mitigation(). Rather, it depended on the serializing CR3 write of SWITCH_TO_KERNEL_CR3 and since it got removed, add a FENCE_SWAPGS_KERNEL_ENTRY call to make sure speculation is blocked.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
