Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86-32: Directly access per-cpu GDT
Date: Sat, 31 Jul 2010 12:48:23 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1280594903-6341-2-git-send-email-brgerst@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1280594903-6341-1-git-send-email-brgerst@gmail.com>
Use a direct per-cpu reference for the GDT instead of using a scratch
register.
