+Subject: x86_64, switch_to(): Load TLS descriptors before switching DS and ES
+Origin: https://git.kernel.org/linus/f647d7c155f069c1a068030255c300663516420e
+
+Otherwise, if buggy user code points DS or ES into the TLS
+array, they would be corrupted after a context switch.
+
+This also significantly improves the comments and documents some
+gotchas in the code.
+
+Before this patch, the both tests below failed.  With this
+patch, the es test passes, although the gsbase test still fails.
