Struct x86_64::registers::model_specific::Star

pub struct Star;

Syscall Register: STAR

Implementations

impl Star

pub fn read_raw() -> (u16, u16)

Available on crate feature instructions only.

Read the Ring 0 and Ring 3 segment bases. The remaining fields are ignored because they are not valid for long mode.

Returns

• Field 1 (SYSRET): The CS selector is set to this field + 16. SS.Sel is set to this field + 8. Because SYSRET always returns to CPL 3, the RPL bits 1:0 should be initialized to 11b.
• Field 2 (SYSCALL): This field is copied directly into CS.Sel. SS.Sel is set to this field + 8. Because SYSCALL always switches to CPL 0, the RPL bits 33:32 should be initialized to 00b.

pub fn read( ) -> (SegmentSelector, SegmentSelector, SegmentSelector, SegmentSelector)

Available on crate feature instructions only.

Read the Ring 0 and Ring 3 segment bases. Returns

• CS Selector SYSRET
• SS Selector SYSRET
• CS Selector SYSCALL
• SS Selector SYSCALL

pub unsafe fn write_raw(sysret: u16, syscall: u16)

Available on crate feature instructions only.

Write the Ring 0 and Ring 3 segment bases. The remaining fields are ignored because they are not valid for long mode.

Parameters

• sysret: The CS selector is set to this field + 16. SS.Sel is set to this field + 8. Because SYSRET always returns to CPL 3, the RPL bits 1:0 should be initialized to 11b.
• syscall: This field is copied directly into CS.Sel. SS.Sel is set to this field + 8. Because SYSCALL always switches to CPL 0, the RPL bits 33:32 should be initialized to 00b.

Safety

Unsafe because this can cause system instability if passed in the wrong values for the fields.

pub fn write( cs_sysret: SegmentSelector, ss_sysret: SegmentSelector, cs_syscall: SegmentSelector, ss_syscall: SegmentSelector ) -> Result<(), InvalidStarSegmentSelectors>

Available on crate feature instructions only.

Write the Ring 0 and Ring 3 segment bases. The remaining fields are ignored because they are not valid for long mode. This function will fail if the segment selectors are not in the correct offset of each other or if the segment selectors do not have correct privileges.

impl Star

pub const MSR: Msr = _

The underlying model specific register.
