The relocate kernel mechanism uses an identity mapping to copy the new kernel, which leads to a LASS violation when executing from a low address. LASS must be disabled after the original CR4 value is saved because kexec paths that preserve context need to restore CR4.LASS. But, disabling it along with CET during identity_mapped() is too late. So, disable LASS immediately after saving CR4, along with PGE, and before jumping to the identity-mapped page.

README
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 reStructuredText 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.
