Subject: [GIT PULL] x86/asm changes for v6.8

Linus,

Please pull the latest x86/asm git tree from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git x86-asm-2024-01-08

# HEAD: bc90aefa99f74452d549d503a3f1cbf3adc9c6bb x86/asm: Add DB flag to 32-bit percpu GDT entry

x86/asm changes for v6.8:

- Replace magic numbers in GDT descriptor definitions & handling:

- Introduce symbolic names via macros for descriptor types/fields/flags,
and then use these symbolic names.

- Clean up definitions a bit, such as GDT_ENTRY_INIT()

- Fix/clean up details that became visibly inconsistent after the
symbol-based code was introduced:

- Unify accessed flag handling

- Set the D/B size flag consistently & according to the HW specification

Thanks,

Ingo
