Hi, Is there any version of ABI which specifies %fs, %gs and ldt usage on ia32 for *nix? Or any FreeBSD specification? I see that Nvidia driver uses them, that there is some compatibility with Linux, that FreeBSD kernel did not save %gs on context switch recently and not does %gs processing, etc., etc. But I can not find what is the general idea of using those things or what is intend for future usage. Thank you in advance for any info, Sergey.
