Subject: [GIT PULL] x86/asm changes for v6.8
Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2024 12:03:29 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ZZvWgXCxrBcVwFco@gmail.com> (raw)
Linus,
Please pull the latest x86/asm git tree from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git x86-asm-2024-01-08
# HEAD: bc90aefa99f74452d549d503a3f1cbf3adc9c6bb x86/asm: Add DB flag to 32-bit percpu GDT entry
x86/asm changes for v6.8:
- Replace magic numbers in GDT descriptor definitions & handling:
- Introduce symbolic names via macros for descriptor types/fields/flags,
and then use these symbolic names.
- Clean up definitions a bit, such as GDT_ENTRY_INIT()
- Fix/clean up details that became visibly inconsistent after the
symbol-based code was introduced:
- Unify accessed flag handling
- Set the D/B size flag consistently & according to the HW specification
Thanks,
Ingo
