QEMU virtualization and segment RPL

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

 



Hi,

As something like VMI is expected to be supported soon by QEMU, I have a 
small question: does the virtualization API you are defining supports 
that the guest kernel code can be executed in ring 3 ?

In QEMU for example, the guest kernel code can be executed either by the 
dynamic translator (in this case CS.rpl = 0 and SS.rpl = 0) or by the 
kqemu kernel module (in this case CS.rpl = 3 and SS.rpl = 3). So a good 
behaviour would be to ignore the rpl field of both CS and SS in kernel mode.

Regards,

Fabrice.
