Hi friends,
When I turn off the vt of my machine, my linux occasionally meets
a coredump, which eip points to the following something like this:
movl %ecx, %gs:0
And that's the tls of linux conventions controlled by gdt.
And the wired thing is that when a gdb attached into the
will-coredump process, and enter 'continue', the process that should
trigger coredump continues to run normally.
I guess this is a syncing bug between raw mode and qemu mode, So I
add patch like following:

The coredump never ever happend again.
