I believe this one should be fixed by:

  d7732ba55c4b: x86/pti: Switch to kernel CR3 at early in entry_SYSCALL_compat()

Thanks!

Linus's latest upstream:

  00a5ae218d57: Merge branch 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

and later kernels includes all fixes for all regressions that were reported so far 
on top of -rc6:

 2fd9c41aea47: x86/process: Define cpu_tss_rw in same section as declaration
 d7732ba55c4b: x86/pti: Switch to kernel CR3 at early in entry_SYSCALL_compat()
 3ffdeb1a02be: x86/dumpstack: Print registers for first stack frame
 a9cdbe72c4e8: x86/dumpstack: Fix partial register dumps
 52994c256df3: x86/pti: Make sure the user/kernel PTEs match
 694d99d40972: x86/cpu, x86/pti: Do not enable PTI on AMD processors
 87faa0d9b43b: x86/pti: Enable PTI by default

PTI fixes can also be independently tracked and pre-merged via:

  git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git WIP.x86/pti

Thanks,

	Ingo
