Andy Lutomirski a5d25e01c8 selftests/x86: Add a syscall_arg_fault_64 test for negative GSBASE
If the kernel erroneously allows WRGSBASE and user code writes a
negative value, paranoid_entry will get confused. Check for this by
writing a negative value to GSBASE and doing SYSENTER with TF set. A
successful run looks like:

    [RUN]	SYSENTER with TF, invalid state, and GSBASE < 0
    [SKIP]	Illegal instruction

A failed run causes a kernel hang, and I believe it's because we
double-fault and then get a never ending series of page faults and,
when we exhaust the double fault stack we double fault again,
starting the process over.

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.

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.
