Testing Intel FSGSBASE Patches For Helping Elevate Linux Performance

Some Redis workloads were helped by the FSGSBASE patches.

KeyDB saw a slight improvement.

Apache's Cassandra was also seeing better write performance.

It's nice to see the improvements in context switching performance after all the hits encountered over the past two years as a result of various CPU security vulnerability mitigations.

Apache's HBase was seeing some improvements with the FSGSBASE-patched Linux kernel.

The Apache web server was also seeing benefits to FSGSBASE.
