Subject: [PATCH] Xen i386 xen-head.S fix sections mixup (updated)
Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2007 13:19:12 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070820171912.GB9478@Krystal> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <46C9311D.2030702@goop.org>

Xen i386 xen-head.S fix sections mixup

xen-head.S does not come back to the data section, leaving the text section
as current section. It causes problems with a slightly enhanced DEBUG_RODATA
that supports CONFIG_HOTPLUG and bringing a CPU up after the text has been
marked read-only: reference to early_gdt_descr causes a page fault.

Update:

It should be using pushsection/popsection.
