I was confused about what Linux does.  Now I think it only copies %fs
to the signal context struct.  It loads %fs with USER_DS for the signal
handler.  It passes the previous (process) value of %gs to the signal
handler.  (Its early mistake of of switching %fs on every entry to the
kernel was moved to FreeBSD.)
