x86 ACPI: fix breakage of resume on 64-bit UP systems with SMP kernel
x86 ACPI: Fix breakage of resume on 64-bit UP systems with SMP kernel We are now using per CPU GDT tables in head_64.S and the original early_gdt_descr.address is invalidated after boot by setup_per_cpu_areas(). This breaks resume from suspend to RAM on x86_64 UP systems using SMP kernels, because this part of head_64.S is also executed during the resume and the invalid GDT address causes the system to crash. It doesn't break on 'true' SMP systems, because early_gdt_descr.address is modified every time native_cpu_up() runs. However, during resume it should point to the GDT of the boot CPU rather than to another CPU's GDT. For this reason, during suspend to RAM always make early_gdt_descr.address point to the boot CPU's GDT. This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11568, which is a regression from 2.6.26.
