From 62111195800d80c66cdc69063ea3145878c99fbf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2006 02:14:02 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] i386: Initialize the per-CPU data area When a CPU is brought up, a PDA and GDT are allocated for it. The GDT's __KERNEL_PDA entry is pointed to the allocated PDA memory, so that all references using this segment descriptor will refer to the PDA. This patch rearranges CPU initialization a bit, so that the GDT/PDA are set up as early as possible in cpu_init(). Also for secondary CPUs, GDT+PDA are preallocated and initialized so all the secondary CPU needs to do is set up the ldt and load %gs. This will be important once smp_processor_id() and current use the PDA. In all cases, the PDA is set up in head.S, before a CPU starts running C code, so the PDA is always available.
