§Introduction

ax-cpu provides Privileged instruction and structure abstractions for various CPU architectures. It is maintained as part of the TGOSKits component set and is intended for Rust projects that integrate with ArceOS, AxVisor, or related low-level systems software.

ax-cpu was derived from https://github.com/arceos-org/axcpu

§TLS and userspace features

tls requests kernel thread-local storage. uspace takes precedence over tls: enabling both selects the same register ownership and context-switch path as uspace alone, without kernel TLS. User-space TLS is still saved and restored by the user-context APIs. Kernel thread-pointer accessors are available only when tls is enabled and uspace is disabled. build.rs derives the internal kernel_tls cfg; callers should select Cargo features instead of setting this cfg themselves. Existing single-feature modes keep their behavior and task-context layout.

§Quick Start

§Installation
