The register is available as $fs_base on x86-64:
(gdb) print (void *)$fs_base
$1 = (void *) 0x7f2d12981740
(gdb) print *(void **)$fs_base
$2 = (void *) 0x7f2d12981740
It probably does not work on i386 (even as $gs_base). I do not think it
depends on FSGSBASE support in the kernel, but maybe I'm mistaken. I
think I looked at this three years ago and couldn't make it work.
Thanks,
Florian
