Struct x86_64::structures::gdt::DescriptorFlags [−][src]
pub struct DescriptorFlags { /* fields omitted */ }
Expand description
Flags for a GDT descriptor. Not all flags are valid for all descriptor types.
Implementations
Set by the processor if this segment has been accessed. Only cleared by software. Setting this bit in software prevents GDT writes on first use.
For 32-bit data segments, sets the segment as writable. For 32-bit code segments, sets the segment as readable. In 64-bit mode, ignored for all segments.
For code segments, sets the segment as “conforming”, influencing the privilege checks that occur on control transfers. For 32-bit data segments, sets the segment as “expand down”. In 64-bit mode, ignored for data segments.
This flag must be set for code segments and unset for data segments.
This flag must be set for user segments (in contrast to system segments).
The DPL for this descriptor is Ring 3. In 64-bit mode, ignored for data segments.
Must be set for any segment, causes a segment not present exception if not set.
Available for use by the Operating System
Must be set for 64-bit code segments, unset otherwise.
Use 32-bit (as opposed to 16-bit) operands. If LONG_MODE
is set,
this must be unset. In 64-bit mode, ignored for data segments.
Limit field is scaled by 4096 bytes. In 64-bit mode, ignored for all segments.
Bits 0..=15
of the limit field (ignored in 64-bit mode)
Bits 16..=19
of the limit field (ignored in 64-bit mode)
Bits 0..=23
of the base field (ignored in 64-bit mode, except for fs and gs)
Bits 24..=31
of the base field (ignored in 64-bit mode, except for fs and gs)
Returns an empty set of flags
Returns the set containing all flags.
Convert from underlying bit representation, unless that representation contains bits that do not correspond to a flag.
Convert from underlying bit representation, dropping any bits that do not correspond to flags.
Convert from underlying bit representation, preserving all bits (even those not corresponding to a defined flag).
Returns true
if there are flags common to both self
and other
.
Returns true
all of the flags in other
are contained within self
.
Inserts the specified flags in-place.
Removes the specified flags in-place.
Toggles the specified flags in-place.
Inserts or removes the specified flags depending on the passed value.
The following constants define default values for common GDT entries. They
are all “flat” segments, meaning they can access the entire address space.
These values all set WRITABLE
and
ACCESSED
. They also match the values loaded
by the syscall
/sysret
and sysenter
/sysexit
instructions.
In short, these values disable segmentation, permission checks, and access tracking at the GDT level. Kernels using these values should use paging to implement this functionality.
