[RESEND PATCH v6 04/12] x86/fsgsbase/64: Enable FSGSBASE instructions in the helper functions
From: Chang S. Bae
Date: Fri Mar 15 2019 - 16:07:58 EST
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, it seems to spend more cycles for
savings and restorations. Little or no benefit was measured from
experiments.
Also, introduce __{rd,wr}gsbase_inactive() 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.
