To support evaluating 64-bit kernel mode instructions: * Replace existing checks for user_64bit_mode() with a new helper that checks whether code is being executed in either 64-bit kernel mode or 64-bit user mode. * Select the GS base depending on whether the instruction is being evaluated in kernel mode.

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.
