"""Generate a Global Descriptor Table (GDT) for x86 CPUs.

For additional detail on GDT and x86 memory management, please
consult the IA Architecture SW Developer Manual, vol. 3.

This script accepts as input the zephyr_prebuilt.elf binary,
which is a link of the Zephyr kernel without various build-time
generated data structures (such as the GDT) inserted into it.
This kernel image has been properly padded such that inserting
these data structures will not disturb the memory addresses of
other symbols.

The output is a GDT whose contents depend on the kernel
configuration. With no memory protection features enabled,
we generate flat 32-bit code and data segments. If hardware-
based stack overflow protection or userspace is enabled,
we additionally create descriptors for the main and double-
fault IA tasks, needed for userspace privilege elevation and
double-fault handling. If userspace is enabled, we also create
flat code/data segments for ring 3 execution.
