Subject: init_tss problem
Date: Sun, 19 Sep 2004 00:55:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <414CBCE0.5000508@free.fr> (raw)
Hi,
I'm trying to understand some piece of kernel code and I've come to this :
In arch/i386/kernel/process.c:
struct tss_struct *tss = &per_cpu(init_tss, cpu);
I don't know what init_tss is.
It's defined in asm/processor.h with the macro DEFINE_PER_CPU
(tss_struct, init_tss)
which basically does extern tss_struct init_tss.
But this init_tss has to be declared somewhere to be used as extern ...
I've searched the entire code for any reference to it but I only found it in
arch/x86_64/kernel/init_task.c which is normaly not compiled on my system.
I'm in a dead end ... anyone .. help ?
Thanks
