From: Andy Lutomirski luto@kernel.org Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2017 15:07:14 +0100 Subject: x86/entry/gdt: Put per-CPU GDT remaps in ascending order
From: Andy Lutomirski luto@kernel.org
commit aaeed3aeb39c1ba69f0a49baec8cb728121d0a91 upstream.
We currently have CPU 0's GDT at the top of the GDT range and higher-numbered CPUs at lower addresses. This happens because the fixmap is upside down (index 0 is the top of the fixmap).
Flip it so that GDTs are in ascending order by virtual address. This will simplify a future patch that will generalize the GDT remap to contain multiple pages.
