We've noticed that fsgsbase_64 can fail intermittently with the following error:
[RUN] ARCH_SET_GS(0x0) and clear gs, then schedule to 0x1 Before schedule, set selector to 0x1 other thread: ARCH_SET_GS(0x1) -- sel is 0x0 [FAIL] GS/BASE changed from 0x1/0x0 to 0x0/0x0
This can be reliably reproduced by running fsgsbase_64 in a loop. i.e.
for i in $(seq 1 10000); do ./fsgsbase_64 || break; done
This problem isn't new - I've reproduced it on latest mainline and every release going back to v4.12 (I did not try earlier). This was tested on a Supermicro board with a Xeon E3-1220 as well as an Intel Nuc with an i3-5010U.
Thanks, Dan
