[PATCH 11/23] x86, kaiser: map entry stack variables

[Dave Hansen]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

There are times where the kernel is entered but there is not a
safe stack, like at SYSCALL entry.  To obtain a safe stack, the
per-cpu variables 'rsp_scratch' and 'cpu_current_top_of_stack'
are used to save the old %rsp value and to find where the kernel
stack should start.

You can not directly manipulate the CR3 register.  You can only
'MOV' to it from another register, which means a register must be
clobbered in order to do any CR3 manipulation.  User-mapping
these variables allows us to obtain a safe stack and use it for
temporary storage *before* CR3 is switched.
