Commiteeb89e2bb1("x86/efi: Load fixmap GDT in efi_call_phys_epilog()") moved loading the fixmap in efi_call_phys_epilog() after load_cr3() since it was assumed to be more logical. Turns out this is incorrect: In efi_call_phys_prolog(), the gdt with its physical address is loaded first, and when the %cr3 is reloaded in _epilog from initial_page_table to swapper_pg_dir again the gdt is no longer mapped. This results in a triple fault if an interrupt occurs after load_cr3() and before load_fixmap_gdt(0). Calling load_fixmap_gdt(0) first restores the execution order prior to commiteeb89e2bb1and fixes the problem.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
