Medium: When the original GS base is zero, both samples fit in 32 bits,
so the test misses truncation in ARCH_GET_GS. A probe masking its result
to 32 bits still reported all tests passed. Use a canonical user-space
base with nonzero upper 32 bits, such as 0x1234ababababULL.

Verdict - Needs revision

The agent can sometimes produce false positives although often its
