Subject: x86/fsgsbase/64: Report FSBASE and GSBASE correctly in core dumps
From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 9584d98bed7a7a904d0702ad06bbcc94703cb5b4 upstream.
In ELF_COPY_CORE_REGS, we're copying from the current task, so
accessing thread.fsbase and thread.gsbase makes no sense. Just read
the values from the CPU registers.
In practice, the old code would have been correct most of the time
simply because thread.fsbase and thread.gsbase usually matched the
CPU registers.
