Peter Anvin <hpa@...ux.intel.com> CommitDate: Fri, 1 Mar 2013 10:18:33 -0800 x86_64: Use __BOOT_DS instead_of __KERNEL_DS for safety In startup_32, the running code still uses the initial GDT located in setup. Thus, __BOOT_DS is preferred. Currently __KERNEL_DS is lucky to equal to __BOOT_DS, but this is not always a safe way.
