Just a question about understanding this: I was strugging with the
exact interrupt-handler stack layout, so how do you know the exact
offsets of rflags, cs et all? I've been staring at our APM v2, p. 144
(http://support.amd.com/us/Processor_TechDocs/24593_APM_v2.pdf) which
shows the interrupt stack with error code but it has different offsets
than those above:

[Return SS] 40(%rsp)
[Return RSP] 32(%rsp)
[rFLAGS] 24(%rsp)
[CS] 16(%rsp)
[RIP] 8(%rsp)
[ErrorCode] 0(%rsp)

but I see below that we have room for %rax, %rcx and %rdx on the stack.

Are we doing something different in Linux, or what am I missing?

Thanks.
