Subject: [PATCH] selftests/x86/fsgsbase: Fix some test case bugs
This refactors do_unexpected_base() to clean up some code. It also
fixes the following bugs in test_ptrace_write_gsbase():
- Incorrect printf() format string caused crashes.
- Hardcoded 0x7 for the gs selector was not reliably correct.
It also documents the fact that the test is expected to fail on old
kernels.
Fixes: a87730cc3acc ("selftests/x86/fsgsbase: Test ptracer-induced GSBASE write with FSGSBASE")
Fixes: 1b6858d5a2eb ("selftests/x86/fsgsbase: Test ptracer-induced GSBASE write")
