[patch 08/60] x86/entry/gdt: Put per-CPU GDT remaps in ascending order
From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Mon Dec 04 2017 - 12:07:25 EST
From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx>
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.
