Subject: [PATCH -tip 2/4] x86/process/64: Use savesegment() in __show_regs() instead of inline asm
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 10:59:21 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260330085938.67985-2-ubizjak@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260330085938.67985-1-ubizjak@gmail.com>

Replace direct 'movl' instructions for DS, ES, FS, and GS read in
__show_regs() with the savesegment() helper. This improves
readability, consistency, and ensures proper handling of
segment registers on x86_64.

No functional change intended.
