From b75e2b076d00751579c73cfbbc8a7eac7d2a0468 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arvind Sankar Date: Sun, 2 Feb 2020 12:13:52 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] x86/boot: GDT limit value should be size - 1 The limit value for the GDTR should be such that adding it to the base address gives the address of the last byte of the GDT, i.e. it should be one less than the size, not the size.
