Subject: [ 02/48] x86/tls: Validate TLS entries to protect espfix

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@...capital.net>

commit 41bdc78544b8a93a9c6814b8bbbfef966272abbe upstream

Installing a 16-bit RW data segment into the GDT defeats espfix.
AFAICT this will not affect glibc, Wine, or dosemu at all.
