[ Upstream commitee63291aa8] 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.

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.
