x86/mm: Prevent early boot triple-faults with instrumentation
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 enabled with GCOV_PROFILE add additional measurement code on clang 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. GCOV_PROFILE builds with gcc are still ok so this is clang-specific. 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().
