From 72e12b76fe48d99d1deb417f177b10a9d99b2e74 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zachary Amsden Date: Sun, 30 Oct 2005 14:59:33 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] x86: bogus tls from gdt The per-CPU initialization code is copying in bogus data into thread->tls_array. Note that it copies &per_cpu(cpu_gdt_table, cpu), not &per_cpu(cpu_gdt_table, cpu)[GDT_ENTRY_TLS_MIN). That is totally broken and unnecessary. Make the initialization explicitly NULL.
