[PATCH] i386: Use %gs as the PDA base-segment in the kernel
This patch is the meat of the PDA change. This patch makes several related
changes:
1: Most significantly, %gs is now used in the kernel. This means that on
entry, the old value of %gs is saved away, and it is reloaded with
__KERNEL_PDA.
2: entry.S constructs the stack in the shape of struct pt_regs, and this
is passed around the kernel so that the process's saved register
state can be accessed.
Unfortunately struct pt_regs doesn't currently have space for %gs
(or %fs). This patch extends pt_regs to add space for gs (no space
is allocated for %fs, since it won't be used, and it would just
complicate the code in entry.S to work around the space).
3: Because %gs is now saved on the stack like %ds, %es and the integer
registers, there are a number of places where it no longer needs to
be handled specially; namely context switch, and saving/restoring the
register state in a signal context.
4: And since kernel threads run in kernel space and call normal kernel
code, they need to be created with their %gs == __KERNEL_PDA.

i387: re-introduce FPU state preloading at context switch time
After all the FPU state cleanups and finally finding the problem that
caused all our FPU save/restore problems, this re-introduces the
preloading of FPU state that was removed in commit b3b0870ef3ff ("i387:
do not preload FPU state at task switch time").
However, instead of simply reverting the removal, this reimplements
preloading with several fixes, most notably
- properly abstracted as a true FPU state switch, rather than as
open-coded save and restore with various hacks.
In particular, implementing it as a proper FPU state switch allows us
to optimize the CR0.TS flag accesses: there is no reason to set the
TS bit only to then almost immediately clear it again. CR0 accesses
are quite slow and expensive, don't flip the bit back and forth for
no good reason.
- Make sure that the same model works for both x86-32 and x86-64, so
that there are no gratuitous differences between the two due to the
way they save and restore segment state differently due to
architectural differences that really don't matter to the FPU state.
- Avoid exposing the "preload" state to the context switch routines,
and in particular allow the concept of lazy state restore: if nothing
else has used the FPU in the meantime, and the process is still on
the same CPU, we can avoid restoring state from memory entirely, just
re-expose the state that is still in the FPU unit.
That optimized lazy restore isn't actually implemented here, but the
infrastructure is set up for it. Of course, older CPU's that use
'fnsave' to save the state cannot take advantage of this, since the
state saving also trashes the state.
In other words, there is now an actual _design_ to the FPU state saving,
rather than just random historical baggage. Hopefully it's easier to
follow as a result.
