SubjectRe: [PATCH 00/15] x86: Enable FSGSBASE instructions
Date
> Summary please.

These deltas I found as comparing with your old codes [4]
* Paranoid entry changes to avoid vulnerability
* Ptrace changes to support the legacy behavior (conditionally)
* Dropped [1] to be aligned with what is concluded in [3]
* Dropped [2] since save_fsgs() doesn’t copy base when index is zero; now open code with FSGSBASE instructions.
* Re-wrote assembly macros and dropped (redundant) SWAPGS intrinsic
* Revised helper functions -- dropped unused helpers and factor out write_task_fs/gsbase
* Introducing all of helper functions at the beginning of patch series
* Factor out load_fsgs()
* One of the test cases will be included later (as published 15 patches already)

[1] Refresh FS and GS when modify_ldt changes an entry

[2] When copying a thread, safe FS and GS for real
