Subject: [PATCH 04/23] x86, kaiser: mark per-cpu data structures required for entry/exit
Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2017 16:34:45 -0800	[thread overview]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

These patches are based on work from a team at Graz University of
Technology posted here: https://github.com/IAIK/KAISER

The KAISER approach keeps two copies of the page tables: one for running
in the kernel and one for running userspace.  But, there are a few
structures that are needed for switching in and out of the kernel and
a good subset of *those* are per-cpu data.

Here's a short summary of the things mapped to userspace:
 * The gdt_page's virtual address is pointed to by the LGDT instruction.
   It is needed to define the segments.  Deeply required by CPU to run.
 * cpu_tss tells the CPU, among other things, where the new stacks are
   after user<->kernel transitions.  Needed by the CPU to make ring
   transitions.
 * exception_stacks are needed at interrupt and exception entry
   so that there is storage for, among other things, some temporary
   space to permit clobbering a register to load the kernel CR3.
