[ 145/149] x86, tls: Off by one limit check

From: Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2012-03-30 21:16:29
Also in: lkml

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <redacted>

commit 8f0750f19789cf352d7e24a6cc50f2ab1b4f1372 upstream.

These are used as offsets into an array of GDT_ENTRY_TLS_ENTRIES members
so GDT_ENTRY_TLS_ENTRIES is one past the end of the array.
