Currently arch_rethook_trampoline() generates an almost complete pt_regs on-stack, everything except regs->ss that is, that currently points to the fake return address, which is not a valid segment descriptor. Since interpretation of regs->[sb]p should be done in the context of regs->ss, and we have code actually doing that (see arch/x86/lib/insn-eval.c for instance), complete the job by also pushing ss. This ensures that anybody who does do look at regs->ss doesn't mysteriously malfunction, avoiding much future pain.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
