Subject: [PATCH v3 0/7] x86/ptrace: regset access to the GDT and LDT

From: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@...ux.intel.com>

Give a debugger access to the visible part of the GDT and LDT.  This
allows a debugger to find out what a particular segment descriptor
corresponds to; e.g. if %cs is 16, 32, or 64 bits.

v3:
	Requalify LDT segments for selectors that have actually changed.

v2:
	Add missing change to elf.h for the very last patch.
