From: "H. Peter Anvin (Intel)" <hpa@zytor.com>
The LKGS instruction atomically loads a segment descriptor into the %gs descriptor registers, *except* that %gs.base is unchanged, and the base is instead loaded into MSR_IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE, which is exactly what we want this function to do.

Changes since v3: * We want less ASM not more, thus keep local_irq_save/restore() inside native_load_gs_index() (Thomas Gleixner). * For paravirt enabled kernels, initialize pv_ops.cpu.load_gs_index to native_lkgs (Thomas Gleixner).
Changes since V2: * Mark DI as input and output (+D) as in V1, since the exception handler modifies it (Brian Gerst).
Changes since V1: * Use EX_TYPE_ZERO_REG instead of fixup code in the obsolete .fixup code section (Peter Zijlstra). * Add a comment that states the LKGS_DI macro will be repalced with "lkgs %di" once the binutils support the LKGS instruction (Peter Zijlstra). --- arch/x86/include/asm/gsseg.h | 33 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c | 1 + 2 files changed, 30 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)
