Subject[PATCH v7 06/18] x86/fsgsbase/64: Enable FSGSBASE instructions in the helper functions
Date
The helper functions will switch on faster accesses to FSBASE and
GSBASE when the FSGSBASE feature is enabled.

Accessing user GSBASE needs a couple of SWAPGS operations. It is
avoidable, if the user GSBASE is saved at kernel entry, being updated
as changes, and restored back at kernel exit.

However, this approach is more complicated than the SWAPGS-based.
SWAGPS is used to swap the content of GSBASE and MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE,
contains the user space, on the transitions from and to user space.
Across context switches, MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE has to be updated.

With FSGSBSE, the SWAPGS-based needs to be modified with using the
new instruction, on context switches and in the paranoid path for
performance and functionality. On the context switches, the MSR read
(or write) will be replaced by FSGSBASE instruction as shown in this
change. The following patch details the performance benefit with this.
In the paranoid path, the SWAPGS will not be used any more, as the
existing differentiation logic for kernel and user GS will be
broken. The paranoid path change will be also highlighed in the
followon patches.

Also, __{rd,wr}gsbase_inactive() are added as helpers to access user
GSBASE with SWAPGS. Note, for Xen PV, paravirt hooks can be added,
since it may allow a very efficient but different implementation.
