[PATCH] i386: espfix cleanup
Clean up the espfix code:
- Introduced PER_CPU() macro to be used from asm
- Introduced GET_DESC_BASE() macro to be used from asm
- Rewrote the fixup code in asm, as calling a C code with the altered %ss
appeared to be unsafe
- No longer altering the stack from a .fixup section
- 16bit per-cpu stack is no longer used, instead the stack segment base
is patched the way so that the high word of the kernel and user %esp
are the same.
- Added the limit-patching for the espfix segment. (Chuck Ebbert)
