[PATCH] i386: Convert PDA into the percpu section
Currently x86 (similar to x84-64) has a special per-cpu structure
called "i386_pda" which can be easily and efficiently referenced via
the %fs register. An ELF section is more flexible than a structure,
allowing any piece of code to use this area. Indeed, such a section
already exists: the per-cpu area.
So this patch:
(1) Removes the PDA and uses per-cpu variables for each current member.
(2) Replaces the __KERNEL_PDA segment with __KERNEL_PERCPU.
(3) Creates a per-cpu mirror of __per_cpu_offset called this_cpu_off, which
can be used to calculate addresses for this CPU's variables.
(4) Simplifies startup, because %fs doesn't need to be loaded with a
special segment at early boot; it can be deferred until the first
percpu area is allocated (or never for UP).
The result is less code and one less x86-specific concept.
