LASS throws a #GP for any violations except for stack register accesses,
in which case it throws a #SS instead. Handle this similarly to how other
LASS violations are handled.

Please add the following FRED code:

		if (cpu_feature_enabled(X86_FEATURE_FRED) &&
		    fixup_exception(regs, X86_TRAP_SS, error_code, 0))
			return;

Because the following FRED fixup

https://web.git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=5105e7687ad3dffde77f6e4393b5530e83d672dc

is otherwise skipped, it is interpreted as a LASS #SS before reaching
the FRED fixup (which is indeed a userspace fault but triggered from
a specific kernel IP as described in the commit changelog).

The x86 selftest sigreturn_64 fails w/o the above fix.

+
+		hint = get_kernel_gp_address(regs, &gp_addr);
+		if (hint != GP_NO_HINT) {
+			printk(GPFSTR ", %s 0x%lx", kernel_gp_hint_help[hint],

GPFSTR?

#define GPFSTR "general protection fault"

It is misleading here, you need something like SSFSTR which tells
exactly which exception caused it.

Thanks!
