[PATCH v4 07/17] x86/insn-eval: Add utility function to get segment descriptor base address

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

 



With segmentation, the base address of the segment descriptor is needed
to compute a linear address. The segment descriptor used in the address
computation depends on either any segment override prefixes in the in the
instruction or the default segment determined by the registers involved
in the address computation. Thus, both the instruction as well as the
register (specified as the offset from the base of pt_regs) are given as
inputs. Furthermore, if insn is null, overrides are ignored; this is
useful when, for instance, obtaining the base address of the instruction
pointer (the code segment is always used).

The segment selector is determined by get_seg_selector with the inputs
described above. Once the selector is known the base address is
determined. In protected mode, the selector is used to obtain the segment
descriptor and then its base address. In virtual-8086 mode, the base
address is computed as the value of the segment selector shifted 4
positions to the left.
