Verify that we can lock individual GCS mode bits, that other modes aren't affected and as a side effect also that every combination of modes can be enabled. Normally the inability to reenable GCS after disabling it would be an issue with testing but fortunately the kselftest_harness runs each test within a fork()ed child. This can be inconvenient for some kinds of testing but here it means that each test is in a separate thread and therefore won't be affected by other tests in the suite. Once we get toolchains with support for enabling GCS by default we will need to take care to not do that in the build system but there are no such toolchains yet so it is not yet an issue.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
