[PATCH 09/28] Fix UP gdt bugs

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

 



Fixes two problems with the GDT when compiling for uniprocessor:
 - There's no percpu segment, so trying to load its selector into %fs fails.
   Use a null selector instead.
 - The real gdt needs to be loaded at some point.  Do it in cpu_init().
