> ChangeLog:
> 
>  - Fix a Segmentation fault issue caused by NULL pointer dereference
>    due to a renaming of symbol old_rsp to rsp_scratch at the commit
>    ac9af4983e77765a642b5a21086bc1fdc55418c4, triggered by the commit
>    263042e4630a85e856b4a8cd72f28dab33ef4741 that changes a saving
>    location of user stack pointer in syscall path from
>    thread_struct::usersp to pt_regs at the bottom of kernel stack.
>    (Eric.Ewanco at genband.com, d.hatayama at jp.fujitsu.com)
> 
>  - Fix a runtime error with an error message "invalid structure member
>    offset: thread_struct_fs" due to a renaming of fs/gs members of
>    thread_struct on x86 to fsbase/gsbase. Without this fix, gcore
>    exits abnormally without producing any core file on this issue.
>    (d.hatayama at jp.fujitsu.com)
> 
>  - Fix a Segmentation fault issue caused by NULL pointer dereference
>    due to buffer overrun during a copy of floating pointer register
>    values onto a buffer allocated on the stack where detected size of
>    the copied floating register values are too large, larger than
>    prepared buffer size.  This fix makes the copying floating pointer
>    register values more fail safe to make sure at least that such
>    detection of wrong data structure size doesn't make gcore process
>    abnormally terminate.
