[PATCH 4.15 037/163] x86/xen: init %gs very early to avoid page faults with stack protector

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>

commit 4f277295e54c5b7340e48efea3fc5cc21a2872b7 upstream.

When running as Xen pv guest %gs is initialized some time after
C code is started. Depending on stack protector usage this might be
too late, resulting in page faults.

So setup %gs and MSR_GS_BASE in assembly code already.
