similar to: [PATCH 7/14] i386 / Add some descriptor convenience functions

Introduce a write acessor for updating the current LDT. This is required for hypervisors like Xen that do not allow LDT pages to be directly written. Testing - here's a fun little LDT test that can be trivially modified to test limits as well. /* * Copyright (c) 2005, Zachary Amsden (zach@vmware.com) * This is licensed under the GPL. */ #include <stdio.h> #include <signal.h>

IA-32 linear address translation is loads of fun. While cleaning up the LDT code, I noticed that kprobes code was very bogus with respect to segment handling. Many, many bugs are fixed here. I chose to combine the three separate functions that try to do linear address conversion into one, nice and working functions. All of the versions had bugs. 1) Taking an int3 from v8086 mode could cause

Add some convenient segment macros to the kernel. This makes the rather obfuscated 'seg & 4' go away.

Fairly straightforward. I'd love for type export to be a bit more flexible to make description optional, but could not figure out how to decode that from the C side of things, so for now this just requires the caller to supply a description for all exports during .list_exports.

I am trying to put some DOS clients to access a samba server. I try to use the Microsoft Network Client 3.0 and the Microsoft Lan Manager. With them I can log into the samba server, and use the conection as normal. But when i use it with a high data transfer, somebody, the client or the samba server disconnect. Somebody have any experience with dos clients? Thank you in advance Maurizio Faccio

With new-enough libnbd and our new dynamic-export mode, we can grab the export list from the server for replay to the client.

This picks up python and ocaml. Some of our languages are lacking a number of bindings (for example, lua and perl lack .extents, so I didn't have anything to copy from), and I felt less comfortable with golang and rust. But for python and ocaml, I was able to test a working implementation. Eric Blake (2): python: Implement .list_exports and friends ocaml: Implement .list_exports and

Ancient inline assembler that manipulates descriptor tables is unreadable and has no type checking. Doing this in C actually generates better code, saves code space, and improves readability. The fact that you must cast descriptors to (char *) for the inline assembler to work properly caused me no end of grief working on these patches. Note that GCC does not generate rotations to utilize

Hi, This series integrate the processor.h header. There are a lot of things that are deeply architectural differences between architectures, but I've done my best to come to a settlement. With this series, I am very close to have selectable paravirt for x86_64, It applies ontop of today's x86 git, mm branch.
