good day,
concerning this file:
/usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386/processor.h
we find a "struct thread_struct":
struct thread_struct {
unsigned long esp0;
unsigned long eip;
unsigned long esp;
unsigned long fs;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
unsigned long gs;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
as segment-registers, aren't fs and gs only 16 bit? why are they not
unsigned short (or possibly u_int16_t)?
kind regards,
herbert rosmanith
