x86-32: Fix kexec with stack canary (CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR)
Commit e802a51ede91 ("x86/idt: Consolidate IDT invalidation") cleaned up and unified the IDT invalidation that existed in a couple of places. It changed no actual real code. Despite not changing any actual real code, it _did_ change code generation: by implementing the common idt_invalidate() function in archx86/kernel/idt.c, it made the use of the function in arch/x86/kernel/machine_kexec_32.c be a real function call rather than an (accidental) inlining of the function. That, in turn, exposed two issues: - in load_segments(), we had incorrectly reset all the segment registers, which then made the stack canary load (which gcc does using offset of %gs) cause a trap. Instead of %gs pointing to the stack canary, it will be the normal zero-based kernel segment, and the stack canary load will take a page fault at address 0x14. - to make this even harder to debug, we had invalidated the GDT just before calling idt_invalidate(), which meant that the fault happened with an invalid GDT, which in turn causes a triple fault and immediate reboot. Fix this by (a) not reloading the special segments in load_segments(). We currently don't do any percpu accesses (which would require %fs on x86-32) in this area, but there's no reason to think that we might not want to do them, and like %gs, it's pointless to break it. (b) doing idt_invalidate() before invalidating the GDT, to keep things at least _slightly_ more debuggable for a bit longer. Without a IDT, traps will not work. Without a GDT, traps also will not work, but neither will any segment loads etc. So in a very real sense, the GDT is even more core than the IDT.
