x86[_64]: Separate bootloader and kernel GDT and IDT logic

From now on bootloader sets up its own minimal valid GDT and IDT. Then
the kernel replaces them with its own tables.

x86: Let each CPU have its own GDT


# d2a1be1c 18-Aug-2012 Alex Smith <alex@alex-smith.me.uk>

Cleaner separation of 32-/64-bit specific CPU/interrupt code.

Renamed {32,64}/int.cpp to {32,64}/descriptors.cpp, which now contain
functions for GDT and TSS setup that were previously in arch_cpu.cpp,
as well as the IDT setup code. These get called from the init functions
in arch_cpu.cpp, rather than having a bunch of ifdef'd chunks of code
for 32/64.


# 0897e314 02-Jul-2012 Alex Smith <alex@alex-smith.me.uk>

Merged x86_64 headers into x86 headers.

Not many changes seeing as there's not much x86_64 stuff done yet. Small
differences are handled with ifdefs, large differences (descriptors.h,
struct iframe) have separate headers under arch/x86/32 and arch/x86/64.


# afd6dfc8 28-Jan-2006 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

Implemented first basic APM driver. Only tested with QEMU so far, that's why
it's currently disabled.

# ba61df6d 10-Jan-2006 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

Beginnings of APM support: we now connect to the APM BIOS in 32 bit protected mode.
We don't do anything with it yet, though, so the BIOS will probably ignore us since
we are supposed to poll for events.

# 8e26b085 04-Apr-2005 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Fixed double fault handler. Personally I disclaim all responsiblity
for these changes. I was mostly just staring in amazement at the screen
while Axel and Thomas were discussing IA32 internals. A particularly
fascinating moment was when Thomas produced the cause of a bug we had
been trying to track down for hours off the top of his head (of course
iret behaves specially when the NT bit is set :-). His slowness must be
excused though, since he hadn't slept for more then 30 hours. ;-)

The code doesn't wholeheartedly deal with multi-processor machines yet.
Axel will certainly do some cleanup...

# e5b0e0b5 04-Apr-2005 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

Changed the set_segment_descriptor()'s usage of the limit/granularity
flag. Now, it will choose how to set the granularity by evaluating the
limit.
This call was actually already used this way in the kernel, so that
the TLS and TSS segments were much too large (harmless but incorrect).

# c2c20b78 13-Dec-2004 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

Incorporated some code from NewOS to set up a double fault handler.

# afad65de 19-Oct-2004 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

Replaced all remaining PAGE_SIZE with B_PAGE_SIZE, addr with addr_t.
Removed the definition of PAGE_SIZE and addr.

# 074a16b5 07-Jan-2003 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

Added a private tls.h file with definitions for the reserved TLS slots.
Renamed i386_set_kstack() to i386_set_tss_and_kstack(), because that's what
it does.
Added a new function arch_thread_init_tls() which must be called after
having allocated the TLS area.
Renamed arch_thread_initialize_kthread_stack() to arch_thread_init_kthread_stack()
to be more consistent.
Changed the parameters for arch_thread_enter_uspace() - it now gets a pointer
to the thread structure and takes the user stack pointer from there (which
might also be architectural different).

# 7208e95f 06-Jan-2003 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

Moved the gdt_idt_descr struct from arch_stage2.h to stage2_priv.h.
Moved the tss_descriptor structure to descriptor.h, updated it to be a
segment_descriptor structure, and provided inlines for set_tss_descriptor(),
set_segment_descriptor(), set_segment_descriptor_base(), and
clear_segment_descriptor().
Also added defines for the different privilege levels and descriptor types.
Removed the unusused and incorrect TSS definition, introduced new
TSS_BASE_SEGMENT and TLS_BASE_SEGMENT macros.
Removed include of arch/cpu.h in arch_cpu.h.

# fde77afb 24-Jul-2002 notion <notion@nowhere.fake>

Ported my NewOS changes to OpenBeOS.

A couple of changes in various interrupt and thread functions and structures.
These make it now possible to change the stack at any time without making the kernel crash. This is needed for calling VESA 3.0 VBE functions through the protected mode interface.
