I was able to find this patch in that way:

commit 0bf7e460361c703333f3a82e50e7871465fe20f9

    x86/process/64: Use FSBSBASE in switch_to() if available


The GDB behavior looks to be different between the two cases -- with vs
without gdb server, when I checked the GS/GSBASE values on the ptrace front.

It set the correct GSBASE (e.g.,=0xf7fcf0c0) of GS=0x63 without running the
server. But GSBASE=0 with the server. When I forced to set the correct base,
it exited normally.

Thanks,
Chang
