Subject: selftests/x86/ldt_gdt: Run most existing LDT test cases against the GDT as well
From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit adedf2893c192dd09b1cc2f2dcfdd7cad99ec49d upstream.
Now that the main test infrastructure supports the GDT, run tests
that will pass the kernel's GDT permission tests against the GDT.
