Subject: [PATCH 4.14 081/159] x86/entry/gdt: Put per-CPU GDT remaps in ascending order

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@...nel.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.
