           Summary: MC assembler doesn't accept segment override for
                    movs/lods
           Product: clang
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: -New Bugs

while compiling linux with PaX, i get the following error:

arch/x86/lib/usercopy_32.c:89:3: error: invalid operand for instruction
        __do_strncpy_from_user(dst, src, count, res);
        ^
arch/x86/lib/usercopy_32.c:46:4: note: instantiated from:
                "0:     lodsb " __copyuser_seg" (%%esi)\n"                 \
                 ^
<inline asm>:3:10: note: instantiated into assembly here
0:      lodsb %gs: (%esi)
              ^

it appears that there's no form of movs where one could add a segment override
to the source operand. gas accepts the following:

  lodsb %gs:(%esi)
  movsb %gs:(%esi),(%edi)
