[PATCH v5 01/16] x86/startup_64: Simplify global variable accesses in GDT/IDT programming

From: Ard Biesheuvel
Date: Wed Feb 21 2024 - 06:36:49 EST


From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx>

There are two code paths in the startup code to program an IDT: one that
runs from the 1:1 mapping and one that runs from the virtual kernel
mapping. Currently, these are strictly separate because fixup_pointer()
is used on the 1:1 path, which will produce the wrong value when used
while executing from the virtual kernel mapping.

Switch to RIP_REL_REF() so that the two code paths can be merged. Also,
move the GDT and IDT descriptors to the stack so that they can be
referenced directly, rather than via RIP_REL_REF().

Rename startup_64_setup_env() to startup_64_setup_gdt_idt() while at it,
to make the call from assembler self-documenting.
