Is there a plan to deal with:
/*
* This function has some ABI oddities.
*
* A 32-bit ptracer probably expects that writing FS or GS will change
* FSBASE or GSBASE respectively. In the absence of FSGSBASE support,
* this code indeed has that effect. When FSGSBASE is added, this
* will require a special case.
*
* For existing 64-bit ptracers, writing FS or GS *also* currently
* changes the base if the selector is nonzero the next time the task
* is run. This behavior may? not be needed, and trying to preserve it
* when FSGSBASE is added would be complicated at best.

in arch/x86/kernel/ptrace.c?
