Sets up a proper GDT.

userprog/gdt.h

The bootstrap loader's GDT didn't include user-mode selectors or a TSS, but we need both now.

static

Returns a segment descriptor with the given 32-bit BASE and 20-bit LIMIT (whose interpretation depends on GRANULARITY).

The descriptor represents a system or code/data segment according to CLASS, and TYPE is its type (whose interpretation depends on the class).

The segment has descriptor privilege level DPL, meaning that it can be used in rings numbered DPL or lower. In practice, DPL==3 means that user processes can use the segment and DPL==0 means that only the kernel can use the segment. See [IA32-v3a] 4.5 "Privilege Levels" for further discussion.

The Global Descriptor Table (GDT).

The GDT, an x86-specific structure, defines segments that can potentially be used by all processes in a system, subject to their permissions. There is also a per-process Local Descriptor Table (LDT) but that is not used by modern operating systems.

Each entry in the GDT, which is known by its byte offset in the table, identifies a segment. For our purposes only three types of segments are of interest: code, data, and TSS or Task-State Segment descriptors. The former two types are exactly what they sound like. The TSS is used primarily for stack switching on interrupts.

For more information on the GDT as used here, refer to [IA32-v3a] 3.2 "Using Segments" through 3.5 "System Descriptor Types".
