H A Dcalling.hc82965f9 Thu May 28 15:13:57 CDT 2020 Chang S. Bae <chang.seok.bae@intel.com> x86/entry/64: Handle FSGSBASE enabled paranoid entry/exit

Without FSGSBASE, user space cannot change GSBASE other than through a
PRCTL. The kernel enforces that the user space GSBASE value is postive as
negative values are used for detecting the kernel space GSBASE value in the
paranoid entry code.

If FSGSBASE is enabled, user space can set arbitrary GSBASE values without
kernel intervention, including negative ones, which breaks the paranoid
entry assumptions.

To avoid this, paranoid entry needs to unconditionally save the current
GSBASE value independent of the interrupted context, retrieve and write the
kernel GSBASE and unconditionally restore the saved value on exit. The
restore happens either in paranoid_exit or in the special exit path of the
NMI low level code.

All other entry code pathes which use unconditional SWAPGS are not affected
as they do not depend on the actual content.
