Subject: [PATCH V2 00/15] x86: Enable FSGSBASE instructions

FSGSBASE is 64-bit instruction set to allow read/write
FS/GS base from any privilege. As introduced from
Ivybridge, enabling effort has been revolving quite long
[2,3,4] for various reasons. After extended discussions [1],
this patchset is proposed to introduce new ABIs of
customizing FS/GS base (separate from its selector).

FSGSBASE-enabled VM can be located on hosts with
either HW virtualization or SW emulation. KVM advertises
FSGSBASE when physical CPU has and emulation is
supported in QEMU/TCG [5]. In a pool of mixed systems, VMM
may disable FSGSBASE for seamless VM migrations [6].

A couple of major benefits are expected. Kernel will have
performance improvement in context switch by skipping MSR
write for GS base. User-level programs (such as JAVA-based)
benefit from avoiding system calls to edit FS/GS base.

Changes when FSGSBASE enabled:
(1) In context switch, a thread's FS/GS base is secured
regardless of its selector base on the discussion [1].
(2) (Subsequently) ptracer should expect divergence of FS/GS
index and base values. There was controveral debate on
the concerns with backward incompatibility with that.
(Cases for GDB than other toolchains [7,8]) Current
patchset as baseline version does not contain support
for the backward compatibility
(3) On paranoid entry, GS base is updated to per_CPU base
and the original base is restored at the exit

Updates from V1 [9]:
* (3), instead of comparing current and kernel GS bases
* (2); does not include ptracer backward compatibility
patches.
* With (3), CPU number is stored as early as possible
(before hitting IST stack) than at vDSO initialization.
* Include FSGSBASE documentation and enumerating capability
for user space
* Add TAINT_INSECURE flag and vDSO cleanup for the (CPU
number) initialization
