[PATCH v2 2/8] x86/fsgsbase/64: Make ptrace read FS/GS base accurately

From: Chang S. Bae
Date: Wed Jun 06 2018 - 12:24:56 EST


From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx>

ptrace can read FS/GS base using the register access API
(PTRACE_PEEKUSER, etc) or PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL. Make both of these
mechanisms return the actual FS/GS base.

This will improve debuggability by providing the correct information
to ptracer (GDB and etc).
