The patch titled i386 GDT cleanups: cleanup GDT Access has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is i386-gdt-cleanups-cleanup-gdt-access.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: i386 GDT cleanups: cleanup GDT Access From: Rusty Russell <rusty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Now we have an explicit per-cpu GDT variable, we don't need to keep the descriptors around to use them to find the GDT: expose cpu_gdt directly. We could go further and make load_gdt() pack the descriptor for us, or even assume it means "load the current cpu's GDT" which is what it always does.
