Actually, it's quite sweet! We have a pointer to the currently booting
CPU's GDT descriptor and load that in asm (only one additional insn),
and the C code is significantly simpler. Here is a replacement for
patch 5/7, and I'll post updated (simplified) 6/7 and 7/7 separately.
Thanks Jeremy!
Rusty.
====
This patch actually uses the gs register to implement the per-cpu
sections. It's fairly straightforward: the gs segment starts at the
per-cpu offset for the particular cpu (or 0, in very early boot).
Jeremy Fitzhardinge points out that if we set up %gs correctly in asm,
we can always use per-cpu variables (eg. smp_processor_id() and
current()) in C code. As he intimated, this is quite clean.
We keep a "booting_cpu_gdt_desc_ptr". It's statically initialized to
the master per-cpu gdt descriptor, and then updated to point to the
current cpu's GDT descriptor as CPUs come up. This keeps the asm much
the same as before.
We also implement x86_64-inspired (via Jeremy Fitzhardinge) per-cpu
accesses where a general lvalue isn't needed. These
single-instruction accesses are slightly more efficient, plus (being a
single insn) are atomic wrt. preemption so we can use them to
implement cpu_local_inc etc.
