Hi guys,

Sorry I didn't do more test for this patch on amd64 before I check it in.

But this patch really work not very good in amd64.

For example:

Process record: i386_process_record addr = 0x7ffff7b13cc9 signal = 0
Process record: add mem addr = 0xffffffffffffffa8 len = 4 to record list.
Process record: error reading memory at addr = 0xffffffffffffffa8 len = 4.
Process record: failed to record execution log.

Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.

The fs is same with gs, but "mov    %edx,%fs:(%rcx)" is not same with
"mov    %edx,(%rcx)".

I think remove this patch from gdb-cvs-head before 7.0 branch  and
make the segment reg clear is better.

What  do you think about it?

Thanks,
Hui
