fsbase()andgsbase()inpwndbg/regs.pywill use ptrace by ourself to find segment base, but it doesn't work on remote debugging.But GDB >= 8 can use
fs_baseandgs_baseregister to get the same result for x86-64 processes, and this feature works when remote debugging.So by checking these two registers, even if we are using gdbserver to debug a x86-64 process, we can still use
fsbase/gsbasewithout any problems if our GDB version >= 8
