hi all, I read in intel's manual that you can either put interrupt gate or a task gate in the IDT. So what does Linux put there ? when an int 80 is executed - is it via an interrupt gate or task gate ? are task gates used in Linux anyway ? thank you naziir -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
