[PATCH 4/7] Fix places where using %gs changes the usermode ABI.

From: Rusty Russell
Date: Fri Sep 22 2006 - 07:58:51 EST


There are a few places where the change in struct pt_regs and the use
of %gs affect the userspace ABI. These are primarily debugging
interfaces where thread state can be inspected or extracted.
