[PATCH v2 0/5] x86-64: Remove global variables from boot

From: Brian Gerst
Date: Fri Feb 24 2023 - 10:42:46 EST


This is based on the parallel boot v11 series.

Remove the global variables initial_gs, initial_stack, and
early_gdt_descr from the 64-bit boot code. The stack, GDT, and GSBASE
can be determined from the CPU number.

v2: - Dropped first two patches which were merged into another patch in
the parallel boot series.
- Fixed a compile error in patch 1 found by the kernel test robot.
- Split out the removal of STARTUP_SECONDARY into a separate patch
and renumber the remaining flags.

Brian Gerst (5):
x86/smpboot: Remove initial_stack on 64-bit
x86/smpboot: Remove early_gdt_descr on 64-bit
x86/smpboot: Remove initial_gs
x86/smpboot: Simplify boot CPU setup
x86/smpboot: Remove STARTUP_SECONDARY
