When FSGSBASE is enabled, paranoid_entry() fetches the per-CPU GSBASE value
via __per_cpu_offset or pcpu_unit_offsets.
When a data breakpoint is set on __per_cpu_offset[cpu] (read-write
operation), the specific CPU will be stuck in an infinite #DB loop.
RCU will try to send an NMI to the specific CPU, but it is not working
either since NMI also relies on paranoid_entry(). Which means it's
undebuggable.

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.
