/*P:600 The x86 architecture has segments, which involve a table of descriptors * which can be used to do funky things with virtual address interpretation. * We originally used to use segments so the Guest couldn't alter the * Guest<->Host Switcher, and then we had to trim Guest segments, and restore * for userspace per-thread segments, but trim again for on userspace->kernel * transitions... This nightmarish creation was contained within this file, * where we knew not to tread without heavy armament and a change of underwear. * * In these modern times, the segment handling code consists of simple sanity * checks, and the worst you'll experience reading this code is butterfly-rash * from frolicking through its parklike serenity. :*/ #include "lg.h" /*H:600 * We've almost completed the Host; there's just one file to go! * * Segments & The Global Descriptor Table * * (That title sounds like a bad Nerdcore group. Not to suggest that there are * any good Nerdcore groups, but in high school a friend of mine had a band * called Joe Fish and the Chips, so there are definitely worse band names). * * To refresh: the GDT is a table of 8-byte values describing segments. Once * set up, these segments can be loaded into one of the 6 "segment registers". * * GDT entries are passed around as "struct desc_struct"s, which like IDT * entries are split into two 32-bit members, "a" and "b". One day, someone * will clean that up, and be declared a Hero. (No pressure, I'm just saying). * * Anyway, the GDT entry contains a base (the start address of the segment), a * limit (the size of the segment - 1), and some flags. Sounds simple, and it * would be, except those zany Intel engineers decided that it was too boring * to put the base at one end, the limit at the other, and the flags in * between. They decided to shotgun the bits at random throughout the 8 bytes, * like so: * * 0 16 40 48 52 56 63 * [ limit part 1 ][ base part 1 ][ flags ][li][fl][base ] * mit ags part 2 * part 2 * * As a result, this file contains a certain amount of magic numeracy.
