Pull x86 fsgsbase from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Support for FSGSBASE. Almost 5 years after the first RFC to support
  it, this has been brought into a shape which is maintainable and
  actually works.

  This final version was done by Sasha Levin who took it up after Intel
  dropped the ball. Sasha discovered that the SGX (sic!) offerings out
  there ship rogue kernel modules enabling FSGSBASE behind the kernels
  back which opens an instantanious unpriviledged root hole.

  The FSGSBASE instructions provide a considerable speedup of the
  context switch path and enable user space to write GSBASE without
  kernel interaction. This enablement requires careful handling of the
  exception entries which go through the paranoid entry path as they
  can no longer rely on the assumption that user GSBASE is positive (as
  enforced via prctl() on non FSGSBASE enabled systemn).

  All other entries (syscalls, interrupts and exceptions) can still just
  utilize SWAPGS unconditionally when the entry comes from user space.
  Converting these entries to use FSGSBASE has no benefit as SWAPGS is
  only marginally slower than WRGSBASE and locating and retrieving the
  kernel GSBASE value is not a free operation either. The real benefit
  of RD/WRGSBASE is the avoidance of the MSR reads and writes.

  The changes come with appropriate selftests and have held up in field
  testing against the (sanitized) Graphene-SGX driver"
