Subject[PATCH 0/7] Misc GDT fixes and a cleanup
Date
Hi all-

This applies to tip:x86/mm. For ease of testing, the series is here, too:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/luto/linux.git/tag/?h=review_20170322_gdt_and_wp

This fixes a few issues, most of which appear to be rather old. For
whatever reason, Thomas' GDT series unearthed them. (And one is a
genuine bug in Thomas' code but, in his defense, he might have
cut-and-pasted it verbatim from the identical bug in the EFI code.)

The last three patches are cleanups I did while tracking these down.

Boris, any chance you could test this series on Xen? The 64-bit
case works for me, but I'm having issues testing on 32-bit right
now.

Ingo, the first patch should address your concerns from the earlier
version.

Andy Lutomirski (7):
selftests/x86/ldt_gdt_32: Work around a glibc sigaction bug
x86/gdt: Fix setup_fixmap_gdt() to use the correct PA
x86/efi/32: Fix EFI on systems where the percpu GDT is virtually
mapped
x86/boot/32: Defer resyncing initial_page_table until percpu is set up
x86/gdt: Get rid of the get_*_gdt_*_vaddr() helpers
x86/xen/gdt: Use X86_FEATURE_XENPV instead of globals for the GDT
fixup
x86/boot/32: Rewrite test_wp_bit()
