x86/fsgsbase: Revert FSGSBASE support
The FSGSBASE series turned out to have serious bugs and there is still an open issue which is not fully understood yet. The confidence in those changes has become close to zero especially as the test cases which have been shipped with that series were obviously never run before sending the final series out to LKML. ./fsgsbase_64 >/dev/null Segmentation fault As the merge window is close, the only sane decision is to revert FSGSBASE support. The revert is necessary as this branch has been merged into perf/core already and rebasing all of that a few days before the merge window is not the most brilliant idea. I could definitely slap myself for not noticing the test case fail when merging that series, but TBH my expectations weren't that low back then. Won't happen again. Revert the following commits: 539bca535dec ("x86/entry/64: Fix and clean up paranoid_exit") 2c7b5ac5d5a9 ("Documentation/x86/64: Add documentation for GS/FS addressing mode") f987c955c745 ("x86/elf: Enumerate kernel FSGSBASE capability in AT_HWCAP2") 2032f1f96ee0 ("x86/cpu: Enable FSGSBASE on 64bit by default and add a chicken bit") 5bf0cab60ee2 ("x86/entry/64: Document GSBASE handling in the paranoid path") 708078f65721 ("x86/entry/64: Handle FSGSBASE enabled paranoid entry/exit") 79e1932fa3ce ("x86/entry/64: Introduce the FIND_PERCPU_BASE macro") 1d07316b1363 ("x86/entry/64: Switch CR3 before SWAPGS in paranoid entry") f60a83df4593 ("x86/process/64: Use FSGSBASE instructions on thread copy and ptrace") 1ab5f3f7fe3d ("x86/process/64: Use FSBSBASE in switch_to() if available") a86b4625138d ("x86/fsgsbase/64: Enable FSGSBASE instructions in helper functions") 8b71340d702e ("x86/fsgsbase/64: Add intrinsics for FSGSBASE instructions") b64ed19b93c3 ("x86/cpu: Add 'unsafe_fsgsbase' to enable CR4.FSGSBASE") Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Chang S.
