FWIW, “sysret_ss_attrs” is a workaround for a design error in AMD’s x86_64 implementation. One might argue that AMD is right because they designed AMD64 in the first place, but IMO this is silly, and AMD’s design is unjustifiable.

(I’m the one who characterized this issue on Linux and wrote the test case and the workaround.)
