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.
