From 2dead15fb8f6522b96c913603b5ad0b5c7d01f49 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lans Zhang Date: Fri, 1 Mar 2013 09:20:39 +0800 Subject: x86_64: Use __BOOT_DS instead_of __KERNEL_DS for safety In startup_32, the running code still uses the initial GDT located in setup. Thus, __BOOT_DS is preferred. Currently __KERNEL_DS is lucky to equal to __BOOT_DS, but this is not always a safe way.
