Release 4.11 drivers/lguest/segments.c
/*P:600
* The x86 architecture has segments, which involve a table of descriptors
* which can be used to do funky things with virtual address interpretation.
* We originally used to use segments so the Guest couldn't alter the
* Guest<->Host Switcher, and then we had to trim Guest segments, and restore
* for userspace per-thread segments, but trim again for on userspace->kernel
* transitions... This nightmarish creation was contained within this file,
* where we knew not to tread without heavy armament and a change of underwear.
*
* In these modern times, the segment handling code consists of simple sanity
* checks, and the worst you'll experience reading this code is butterfly-rash
* from frolicking through its parklike serenity.

/*H:600
* Segments & The Global Descriptor Table
*
* (That title sounds like a bad Nerdcore group. Not to suggest that there are
* any good Nerdcore groups, but in high school a friend of mine had a band
* called Joe Fish and the Chips, so there are definitely worse band names).
*
* To refresh: the GDT is a table of 8-byte values describing segments. Once
* set up, these segments can be loaded into one of the 6 "segment registers".
*
* GDT entries are passed around as "struct desc_struct"s, which like IDT
* entries are split into two 32-bit members, "a" and "b". One day, someone
* will clean that up, and be declared a Hero. (No pressure, I'm just saying).
*
* Anyway, the GDT entry contains a base (the start address of the segment), a
* limit (the size of the segment - 1), and some flags. Sounds simple, and it
* would be, except those zany Intel engineers decided that it was too boring
* to put the base at one end, the limit at the other, and the flags in
* between. They decided to shotgun the bits at random throughout the 8 bytes,
* like so:
*
* 0 16 40 48 52 56 63
* [ limit part 1 ][ base part 1 ][ flags ][li][fl][base ]
* mit ags part 2
* part 2
*
* As a result, this file contains a certain amount of magic numeracy. Let's
* begin.
*/
/*
* There are several entries we don't let the Guest set. The TSS entry is the
* "Task State Segment" which controls all kinds of delicate things. The
* LGUEST_CS and LGUEST_DS entries are reserved for the Switcher, and the
* the Guest can't be trusted to deal with double faults.
