[PATCH] [31/48] i386: Use per-cpu GDT immediately upon boot

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Sun Apr 29 2007 - 06:57:02 EST



From: Rusty Russell <rusty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Now we are no longer dynamically allocating the GDT, we don't need the
"cpu_gdt_table" at all: we can switch straight from "boot_gdt_table" to the
per-cpu GDT. This means initializing the cpu_gdt array in C.

The boot CPU uses the per-cpu var directly, then in smp_prepare_cpus() it
switches to the per-cpu copy just allocated. For secondary CPUs, the
early_gdt_descr is set to point directly to their per-cpu copy.

For UP the code is very simple: it keeps using the "per-cpu" GDT as per SMP,
but we never have to move.
