The following commit has been merged into the x86/fsgsbase branch of tip: Commit-ID: b745cfba44c152c34363eea9e052367b6b1d652b Gitweb: https://git.kernel.org/tip/b745cfba44c152c34363eea9e052367b6b1d652b Author: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Thu, 28 May 2020 16:13:58 -04:00 Committer: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> CommitterDate: Thu, 18 Jun 2020 15:47:05 +02:00 x86/cpu: Enable FSGSBASE on 64bit by default and add a chicken bit Now that FSGSBASE is fully supported, remove unsafe_fsgsbase, enable FSGSBASE by default, and add nofsgsbase to disable it.
