      [PATCH] i386: Allow a kernel not to be in ring 0 · 78be3706
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      We allow for the fact that the guest kernel may not run in ring 0.  This
      requires some abstraction in a few places when setting %cs or checking
      privilege level (user vs kernel).
      
      This is Chris' [RFC PATCH 15/33] move segment checks to subarch, except rather
      than using #define USER_MODE_MASK which depends on a config option, we use
      Zach's more flexible approach of assuming ring 3 == userspace.  I also used
      "get_kernel_rpl()" over "get_kernel_cs()" because I think it reads better in
      the code...
      
      1) Remove the hardcoded 3 and introduce #define SEGMENT_RPL_MASK 3 2) Add a
      get_kernel_rpl() macro, and don't assume it's zero.
      
      And:
      
      Clean up of patch for letting kernel run other than ring 0:
      
      a. Add some comments about the SEGMENT_IS_*_CODE() macros.
      b. Add a USER_RPL macro.  (Code was comparing a value to a mask
         in some places and to the magic number 3 in other places.)
      c. Add macros for table indicator field and use them.
      d. Change the entry.S tests for LDT stack segment to use the macros

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
