Andy Lutomirski 07e1d88ada x86/fsgsbase/64: Fix ptrace() to read the FS/GS base accurately
On 64-bit kernels ptrace can read the FS/GS base using the register access
APIs (PTRACE_PEEKUSER, etc.) or PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL.

Make both of these mechanisms return the actual FS/GS base.

This will improve debuggability by providing the correct information
to ptracer such as GDB.

[ chang: Rebased and revised patch description. ]
[ mingo: Revised the changelog some more. ]

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
