If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Juergen Gross commit 4f277295e54c5b7340e48efea3fc5cc21a2872b7 upstream. When running as Xen pv guest %gs is initialized some time after C code is started. Depending on stack protector usage this might be too late, resulting in page faults. So setup %gs and MSR_GS_BASE in assembly code already.
