            Bug ID: 27347
           Summary: x86: Implement FSGSBASE detection
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.34
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: fweimer at redhat dot com
                CC: drepper.fsp at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---
             Flags: security-

FSGSBASE support requires kernel support and is signal through AT_HWCAP2.

glibc should provide the appropriate bit mask for AT_HWCAP in the installed
headers, and <sys/platform/x86.h> should enable detection via x86_cpu_is_usable
(x86_cpu_FSGSBASE).
