      [PATCH] Save fs/gs over vm86 mode switch · 56eb992e
      Ingo Molnar authored
      In vm86 mode we did not save/restore %gs [and %fs] properly, which
      breaks new-style threading.

      Make the default values for DS/ES be the _user_ segment descriptors · a85071ff
      Linus Torvalds authored
      on x86 - the kernel doesn't really care (as long as it's all flat 32-bit),
      and it means that the return path for sysenter/sysexit can avoid re-loading
      the segment registers.
      
      NOTE! This means that _all_ kernel code (not just the sysenter path) must
      be appropriately changed, since the kernel knows the conventions and doesn't
      save/restore DS/ES internally on context switches etc.
