[PATCH] x86: Make cpu_tss available to external modules

From: Marc Dionne
Date: Mon May 04 2015 - 14:17:04 EST


Commit 75182b1632 ("x86/asm/entry: Switch all C consumers of
kernel_stack to this_cpu_sp0()") changed current_thread_info
to use this_cpu_sp0, and indirectly made it rely on init_tss
which was exported with EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL_GPL.
As a result some macros and inline functions such as set/get_fs,
test_thread_flag and variants have been made unusable for
external modules.

Make cpu_tss exported with EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL so that these
functions are accessible again, as they were previously.
