x86/ptrace: Cleanup the definition of the pt_regs structure
struct pt_regs is hard to read because the member or section related comments are not aligned with the members. The 'cs' and 'ss' members of pt_regs are type of 'unsigned long' while in reality they are only 16-bit wide. This works so far as the remaining space is unused, but FRED will use the remaining bits for other purposes. To prepare for FRED: - Cleanup the formatting - Convert 'cs' and 'ss' to u16 and embed them into an union with a u64 - Fixup the related printk() format strings Suggested-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Originally-by: H.
