Given feedbacks from [1], it was suggested to separate two parts and to (re-)submit this patchset first.
To facilitate FSGSBASE, helper functions and refactoring work are incorporated. Also, it includes Andy's fix for accurate FS/GS base read and cleanup for the vDSO initialization.
Changes from V3 [4]: * Unify CPU number initialization * Rebase on 4.18-rc1
Changes from V2 [3]: * Bisect the CPU number initialization patch * Drop patches for introducing i386 CPU_NUMBER and switching write_rdtscp_aux() to use wrmsr_safe()
Changes from V1 [2]: * Rename the x86-64 CPU_NUMBER segment from PER_CPU * Add i386 CPU_NUMBER equivalent to x86-64 at GDT entry 23 * Add additional helper function to store CPU number * Switch write_rdtscp_aux() to use wrmsr_safe()
