Ok, people, heads up -- I'm about to commit a patch to /sys/i386
which changes the way FreeBSD uses the x86 LDT. Specifically,
I'm moving LUDATA_SEL from LDT entry 4 to 5 (Why 5? Why not?)
and re-using entry 4 as a call gate for SysV system calls made
by library stubs from Solaris 2.6 and higher.
I've been running with these mods for about a month now with no
problems at all (there are no userland implications AFAICT).
Nevertheless, I'm going to leave this in for a couple of days
before committing the rest of the emulator to give interested
parties a chance to bitch at me :-)
Cheers,
- mark
