Well, that bisection ended in that patch:

# first bad commit: [b745cfba44c152c34363eea9e052367b6b1d652b] x86/cpu: Enable FSGSBASE on 64bit by default and add a chicken bit

so I can't go further.

Or do you mean I should add "unsafe_fsgsbase" to grub cmdline and bisect
with fsgsbase enabled in all test kernels?

It is trivial:

int
main (void)
{
  return 0;
}

how can that make any difference or are you thinking compiler differences?

Lemme send it to you.

Hmm.

More hmm.
