[PATCH 27/62] x86/head/64: Load segment registers earlier

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@xxxxxxx>

Make sure segments are properly set up before setting up an IDT and
doing anything that might cause a #VC exception. This is later needed
for early exception handling.
