According to what I found on the web, you need to use movabs for 64-bit
displacement. Additionally, you can only use the "Areg (AL/AX/EAX/RAX)"
as source/destination register.
Hence, assuming that you want to write 4 bytes,
.extern EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER
.global __gp_fault_handler
__gp_fault_handler: .code64
# Set the GP_FAULT flag
movl $1, %eax
movabs %eax, EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER
Which assembles to
0000000000000000 <__gp_fault_handler>:
0: b8 01 00 00 00 mov $0x1,%eax
5: a3 00 00 00 00 00 00 movabs %eax,0x0
c: 00 00
6: R_X86_64_64 EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER
