>Description:
"info registers" should display the base and limit for segment %gs, to aid in
debugging thread implementation (or other code which uses %gs as an additional
segment.) The base and limit values are specified in the most recent
__NR_modify_ldt or __NR_clone system call. Track them as such system calls are
made, or query the operating system for their current values.
Currently only the selector values are displayed:
-----
(gdb) info registers
. . .
cs 0x73 115
ss 0x7b 123
ds 0x7b 123
es 0x7b 123
fs 0x0 0
gs 0x33 51
