[PATCH kvm-unit-tests 0/2] remove tss_descr, replace with a function

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



tss_descr is declared as a struct descriptor_table_ptr but it is actualy
pointing to an _entry_ in the GDT.  Also it is different per CPU, but
tss_descr does not recognize that.  Fix both by reusing the code
(already present e.g. in the vmware_backdoors test) that extracts
the base from the GDT entry; and also provide a helper to retrieve
the limit, which is needed in vmx.c.

Patch 1 adjusts the structs for GDT descriptors, so that the same
code works for both 32-bit and 64-bit (apart from the high 32 bits
of the base field).

Paolo Bonzini (2):
  unify structs for GDT descriptors
  replace tss_descr global with a function
