[PATCH v8 06/17] x86/fsgsbase/64: Use FSGSBASE in switch_to() if available

[Chang S. Bae]

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx>

With the new FSGSBASE instructions, FS/GS base can be efficiently read
and written in __switch_to(). Use that capability to preserve the full
state.

This will enable user code to do whatever it wants with the new
instructions without any kernel-induced gotchas.  (There can still be
architectural gotchas: movl %gs,%eax; movl %eax,%gs may change GS base
if WRGSBASE was used, but users are expected to read the CPU manual
before doing things like that.)

This is a considerable speedup. It seems to save about 100 cycles per
context switch compared to the baseline 4.6-rc1 behavior on a Skylake
laptop.

[ chang: 5~10% performance improvements were seen by a context switch
  benchmark that ran threads with different FS/GS base values (to the
  baseline 4.16). ]

Changes from v7:
* Used appropriate GS base read/write functions depending on interrupt
  conditions. This fixes the bug in v7.
* Massaged changelog by Thomas
* Used '[FS|GS] base' consistently, instead of '[FS|GS]BASE'
