Unless you introduce some clever flag to explicitly request its restoring.
There is another problem as well which is that gcc assumes
FS base to point to TLS at function prolog. Since FS is not
restored too, the only suggestion I get is to write a sighandlers
in asm... I wonder if someone really should write a sighandler in
asm to restore FS base manually with a syscall.
So I think the reality is asking for a new flag. :)
