setup_getcpu() configures two things: - it writes the current CPU & node information into MSR_TSC_AUX - it writes the same information as a GDT entry. By using the "full" setup_getcpu() on i386 it is possible to read the CPU information in userland via RDTSCP() or via LSL from the GDT. Provide an GDT_ENTRY_CPUNODE for x86-32 and make the setup function unconditionally available.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
