Pull x86 fsgsbase from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Support for FSGSBASE. Almost 5 years after the first RFC to support
  it, this has been brought into a shape which is maintainable and
  actually works.

  This final version was done by Sasha Levin who took it up after Intel
  dropped the ball. Sasha discovered that the SGX (sic!) offerings out
  there ship rogue kernel modules enabling FSGSBASE behind the kernels
  back which opens an instantanious unpriviledged root hole.

  The FSGSBASE instructions provide a considerable speedup of the
  context switch path and enable user space to write GSBASE without
  kernel interaction. This enablement requires careful handling of the
  exception entries which go through the paranoid entry path as they
  can no longer rely on the assumption that user GSBASE is positive (as
  enforced via prctl() on non FSGSBASE enabled systemn).

  All other entries (syscalls, interrupts and exceptions) can still just
  utilize SWAPGS unconditionally when the entry comes from user space.
  Converting these entries to use FSGSBASE has no benefit as SWAPGS is
  only marginally slower than WRGSBASE and locating and retrieving the
  kernel GSBASE value is not a free operation either. The real benefit
  of RD/WRGSBASE is the avoidance of the MSR reads and writes.

  The changes come with appropriate selftests and have held up in field
  testing against the (sanitized) Graphene-SGX driver"

+Using FS and GS segments in user space applications
+===================================================
+
+The x86 architecture supports segmentation. Instructions which access
+memory can use segment register based addressing mode. The following
+notation is used to address a byte within a segment:
+
+  Segment-register:Byte-address
+
+The segment base address is added to the Byte-address to compute the
+resulting virtual address which is accessed. This allows to access multiple
+instances of data with the identical Byte-address, i.e. the same code. The
+selection of a particular instance is purely based on the base-address in
+the segment register.
+
+In 32-bit mode the CPU provides 6 segments, which also support segment
+limits. The limits can be used to enforce address space protections.
+
+In 64-bit mode the CS/SS/DS/ES segments are ignored and the base address is
+always 0 to provide a full 64bit address space. The FS and GS segments are
+still functional in 64-bit mode.
+
+Common FS and GS usage
+------------------------------
+
+The FS segment is commonly used to address Thread Local Storage (TLS). FS
+is usually managed by runtime code or a threading library. Variables
+declared with the '__thread' storage class specifier are instantiated per
+thread and the compiler emits the FS: address prefix for accesses to these
+variables. Each thread has its own FS base address so common code can be
+used without complex address offset calculations to access the per thread
+instances. Applications should not use FS for other purposes when they use
+runtimes or threading libraries which manage the per thread FS.
+
+The GS segment has no common use and can be used freely by
+applications. GCC and Clang support GS based addressing via address space
+identifiers.
+
+Reading and writing the FS/GS base address
+------------------------------------------
+
+There exist two mechanisms to read and write the FS/GS base address:
+
+ - the arch_prctl() system call
+
+ - the FSGSBASE instruction family
+
+Accessing FS/GS base with arch_prctl()
+--------------------------------------
+
+ The arch_prctl(2) based mechanism is available on all 64-bit CPUs and all
+ kernel versions.
+
+ Reading the base:
+
+   arch_prctl(ARCH_GET_FS, &fsbase);
+   arch_prctl(ARCH_GET_GS, &gsbase);
+
+ Writing the base:
+
+   arch_prctl(ARCH_SET_FS, fsbase);
+   arch_prctl(ARCH_SET_GS, gsbase);
+
+ The ARCH_SET_GS prctl may be disabled depending on kernel configuration
+ and security settings.
+
+Accessing FS/GS base with the FSGSBASE instructions
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+ With the Ivy Bridge CPU generation Intel introduced a new set of
+ instructions to access the FS and GS base registers directly from user
+ space. These instructions are also supported on AMD Family 17H CPUs. The
+ following instructions are available:
+
+  =============== ===========================
+  RDFSBASE %reg   Read the FS base register
+  RDGSBASE %reg   Read the GS base register
+  WRFSBASE %reg   Write the FS base register
+  WRGSBASE %reg   Write the GS base register
+  =============== ===========================
+
+ The instructions avoid the overhead of the arch_prctl() syscall and allow
+ more flexible usage of the FS/GS addressing modes in user space
+ applications. This does not prevent conflicts between threading libraries
+ and runtimes which utilize FS and applications which want to use it for
+ their own purpose.
+
+FSGSBASE instructions enablement
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+ The instructions are enumerated in CPUID leaf 7, bit 0 of EBX. If
+ available /proc/cpuinfo shows 'fsgsbase' in the flag entry of the CPUs.
+
+ The availability of the instructions does not enable them
+ automatically. The kernel has to enable them explicitly in CR4. The
+ reason for this is that older kernels make assumptions about the values in
+ the GS register and enforce them when GS base is set via
+ arch_prctl(). Allowing user space to write arbitrary values to GS base
+ would violate these assumptions and cause malfunction.
+
+ On kernels which do not enable FSGSBASE the execution of the FSGSBASE
+ instructions will fault with a #UD exception.
+
+ The kernel provides reliable information about the enabled state in the
+ ELF AUX vector. If the HWCAP2_FSGSBASE bit is set in the AUX vector, the
+ kernel has FSGSBASE instructions enabled and applications can use them.
+ The following code example shows how this detection works::
+
+   #include <sys/auxv.h>
+   #include <elf.h>
+
+   /* Will be eventually in asm/hwcap.h */
+   #ifndef HWCAP2_FSGSBASE
+   #define HWCAP2_FSGSBASE        (1 << 1)
+   #endif
+
+   ....
+
+   unsigned val = getauxval(AT_HWCAP2);
+
+   if (val & HWCAP2_FSGSBASE)
+        printf("FSGSBASE enabled\n");
+
+FSGSBASE instructions compiler support
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+GCC version 4.6.4 and newer provide instrinsics for the FSGSBASE
+instructions. Clang 5 supports them as well.
+
+  =================== ===========================
+  _readfsbase_u64()   Read the FS base register
+  _readfsbase_u64()   Read the GS base register
+  _writefsbase_u64()  Write the FS base register
+  _writegsbase_u64()  Write the GS base register
+  =================== ===========================
+
+To utilize these instrinsics <immintrin.h> must be included in the source
+code and the compiler option -mfsgsbase has to be added.
+
+Compiler support for FS/GS based addressing
+-------------------------------------------
+
+GCC version 6 and newer provide support for FS/GS based addressing via
+Named Address Spaces. GCC implements the following address space
+identifiers for x86:
+
+  ========= ====================================
+  __seg_fs  Variable is addressed relative to FS
+  __seg_gs  Variable is addressed relative to GS
+  ========= ====================================
+
+The preprocessor symbols __SEG_FS and __SEG_GS are defined when these
+address spaces are supported. Code which implements fallback modes should
+check whether these symbols are defined. Usage example::
+
+  #ifdef __SEG_GS
+
+  long data0 = 0;
+  long data1 = 1;
+
+  long __seg_gs *ptr;
+
+  /* Check whether FSGSBASE is enabled by the kernel (HWCAP2_FSGSBASE) */
+  ....
+
+  /* Set GS base to point to data0 */
+  _writegsbase_u64(&data0);
+
+  /* Access offset 0 of GS */
+  ptr = 0;
+  printf("data0 = %ld\n", *ptr);
+
+  /* Set GS base to point to data1 */
+  _writegsbase_u64(&data1);
+  /* ptr still addresses offset 0! */
+  printf("data1 = %ld\n", *ptr);
+
+
+Clang does not provide the GCC address space identifiers, but it provides
+address spaces via an attribute based mechanism in Clang 2.6 and newer
+versions:
+
+ ==================================== =====================================
+  __attribute__((address_space(256))  Variable is addressed relative to GS
+  __attribute__((address_space(257))  Variable is addressed relative to FS
+ ==================================== =====================================
+
+FS/GS based addressing with inline assembly
+-------------------------------------------
+
+In case the compiler does not support address spaces, inline assembly can
+be used for FS/GS based addressing mode::
+
+	mov %fs:offset, %reg
+	mov %gs:offset, %reg
+
+	mov %reg, %fs:offset
+	mov %reg, %gs:offset
