commit e4d2102018542e3ae5e297bc6e229303abff8a0f upstream.
Robert Gill reported below #GP in 32-bit mode when dosemu software was executing vm86() system call:

This only happens in 32-bit mode when VERW based mitigations like MDS/RFDS are enabled. This is because segment registers with an arbitrary user value can result in #GP when executing VERW. Intel SDM vol. 2C documents the following behavior for VERW instruction:
#GP(0) - If a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit.
CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS macro executes VERW instruction before returning to user space. Use %cs selector to reference VERW operand. This ensures VERW will not #GP for an arbitrary user %ds.
[ mingo: Fixed the SOB chain. ] [ pawan: Backported to 5.15 ]
