Subject: x86/entry: Remap the TSS into the CPU entry area

From: Andy Lutomirski <[email protected]>

commit 72f5e08dbba2d01aa90b592cf76c378ea233b00b upstream.

This has a secondary purpose: it puts the entry stack into a region with a well-controlled layout. A subsequent patch will take advantage of this to streamline the SYSCALL entry code to be able to find it more easily.
