    Right, so we have now two TSS thingies, AFAICT:

    tss = &per_cpu(cpu_tss, cpu);

    which is cpu_tss and then indirectly, we have also:

    &get_cpu_entry_area((cpu))->tss

    And those are two different things in my guest here:

    [ 0.044002] tss: 0xf5747000
    [ 0.044706] entry area tss: 0xffef1000

    What is the logic here? We carry two TSSs per CPU - one which is RO
    for the entry area and the other is the actual cpu_tss thing? Or am I
    misreading it?

    Thx.
