Subject: [RFC 2/7] x86/gdt: Put per-cpu GDT remaps in ascending order
Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2017 20:05:21 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e956e3a9ea663701b49cb4316dfd2499128bc5b4.1510371795.git.luto@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1510371795.git.luto@kernel.org>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1510371795.git.luto@kernel.org>

We currently have CPU 0's GDT at the top of the GDT range and
higher-numbered CPUs at lower addreses.  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.
