[PATCH 2/7] x86/gdt: Fix setup_fixmap_gdt() to use the correct PA

From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Wed Mar 22 2017 - 17:33:34 EST


__pa() cannot be used on percpu pointers because they may be
virtually mapped. Use per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() instead.

This fixes a boot crash on a some 32-bit configurations. I assume
this is related to which allocation strategy is chosen by the percpu
core.

Fixes: 69218e47994d x86: ("Remap GDT tables in the fixmap section")
