Subject: [PATCH v5 0/2] PVH GDT fixes

Fix stack canary handling (in the first patch) and re-index PVH GDT to
make it explicit that the GDT PVH-specific

v5:
- Load canary's physical address and clear %edx for 64-bit mode

Subject: [PATCH v5 2/2] xen/PVH: Make GDT selectors PVH-specific

We don't need to share PVH GDT layout with other GDTs, especially
since we now have a PVH-speciific entry (for stack canary segment).

Define PVH's own selectors.

(As a side effect of this change we are also fixing improper
reference to __KERNEL_CS)

Subject: [PATCH v5 1/2] xen/PVH: Set up GS segment for stack canary

We are making calls to C code (e.g. xen_prepare_pvh()) which may use
stack canary (stored in GS segment).

Why rax and rdx instead of eax and edx? In the former case, the
relocation produced might confuse whatever entity processing it
(it'll have a sign-extended 32-bit quantity to deal with, which
wouldn't allow representing an address in the [2Gb, 4Gb) range).
In the latter case, while surely neither performance nor code size
matter much here, it's still a bad precedent (people copy-and-paste
code all the time): Zero-ing of registers should generally use the
32-bit forms of the insn. Gas has actually gained an optimization
mode recently (upon request from Linus and the x86 maintainers)
to silently "repair" such inefficiencies.

Sure, I can replace these two with 32-bit variants. If there are no
other comments I won't re-send this again.
