I've got a little patch to try to make accesses to the LDT and TSS of processes on the x86 thread safe. It relies partially on the fact that a TSS or LDT is only modified by the process it is attached to (with the exception of the LDT reference count for LDT's shared among processes). The patch can be found at http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/patches/ldt.patch Please test and review. Thanks. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
