Despite the current efforts to read CR2 before tracing happens there still
exist a number of possible holes:

  idtentry page_fault             do_page_fault           has_error_code=1
    call error_entry
      TRACE_IRQS_OFF
        call trace_hardirqs_off*
          #PF // modifies CR2

      CALL_enter_from_user_mode
        __context_tracking_exit()
          trace_user_exit(0)
            #PF // modifies CR2

    call do_page_fault
      address = read_cr2(); /* whoopsie */

And similar for i386.

Fix it by pulling the CR2 read into the entry code, before any of that
stuff gets a chance to run and ruin things.

History
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.
