[PATCH 1/3] Bogus tls from gdt

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The per-CPU initialization code is copying in bogus data into
thread->tls_array.  Note that it copies &per_cpu(cpu_gdt_table, cpu),
not &per_cpu(cpu_gdt_table, cpu)[GDT_ENTRY_TLS_MIN).  That is totally
broken and unnecessary.  Make the initialization explicitly NULL.
