[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] [RFC PATCH 17/35] Segment register changes for Xen
1. We clear FS/GS before changing TLS entries and switching LDT, as
otherwise the hypervisor will fail to restore thread-local values on
return to the guest kernel and we take a slow exception path.
2. We allow for the fact that the guest kernel may not run in ring 0.
This requires some abstraction in a few places when setting %cs or
checking privilege level (user vs kernel).
