The flag is set to respond to maskable hardware interrupts; cleared to inhibit maskable hardware interrupts. The IF flag does not affect the generation of exceptions or nonmaskable interrupts (NMI interrupts). The CPL, IOPL, and the state of the VME flag in control register CR4 determine whether the IF flag can be modified by the CLI, STI, POPF, POPFD, and IRET. IOPL I/O privilege level field (bits 12 and 13) — Indicates the I/O privilege level (IOPL) of the currently running program or task. The CPL of the currently running program or task must be less than or equal to the IOPL to access the I/O address space. This field can only be modified by the POPF and IRET instructions when operating at a CPL of 0. The IOPL is also one of the mechanisms that controls the modification of the IF flag and the handling of interrupts in virtual-8086 mode when virtual mode extensions are in effect (when CR4.VME = 1). See also: Chapter 13, “Input/Output,” in the Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Devel- oper’s Manual, Volume 1. NT Nested task (bit 14) — Controls the chaining of interrupted and called tasks. The processor sets this flag on calls to a task initiated with a CALL instruction, an interrupt, or an exception. It examines and modifies this flag on returns from a task initiated with the IRET instruction. The flag can be explicitly set or cleared with the POPF/POPFD instructions; however, Figure 2-4.

The base address specifies the linear address of byte 0 of the GDT; the table limit specifies the number of bytes in the table. The LGDT and SGDT instructions load and store the GDTR register, respectively. On power up or reset of the processor, the base address is set to the default value of 0 and the limit is set to 0FFFFH. A new base address must be loaded into the GDTR as part of the processor initialization process for protected-mode operation. See also: Section 3.5.1, “Segment Descriptor Tables.” 2.4.2 Local Descriptor Table Register (LDTR) The LDTR register holds the 16-bit segment selector, base address (32 bits in protected mode; 64 bits in IA-32e mode), segment limit, and descriptor attributes for the LDT. The base address specifies the linear address of byte 0 of the LDT segment; the segment limit specifies the number of bytes in the segment. See also: Section 3.5.1, “Segment Descriptor Tables.” The LLDT and SLDT instructions load and store the segment selector part of the LDTR register, respectively. The segment that contains the LDT must have a segment descriptor in the GDT. When the LLDT instruction loads a segment selector in the LDTR: the base address, limit, and descriptor attributes from the LDT descriptor are automatically loaded in the LDTR. When a task switch occurs, the LDTR is automatically loaded with the segment selector and descriptor for the LDT for the new task. The contents of the LDTR are not automatically saved prior to writing the new LDT information into the register. On power up or reset of the processor, the segment selector and base address are set to the default value of 0 and the limit is set to 0FFFFH. Figure 2-5.

The flags in control registers are: PG Paging (bit 31 of CR0) — Enables paging when set; disables paging when clear. When paging is disabled, all linear addresses are treated as physical addresses. The PG flag has no effect if the PE flag (bit 0 of register CR0) is not also set; setting the PG flag when the PE flag is clear causes a general- protection exception (#GP). See also: Section 3.6, “Paging (Virtual Memory) Overview.” On Intel 64 processors, enabling and disabling IA-32e mode operation also requires modifying CR0.PG. CD Cache Disable (bit 30 of CR0) — When the CD and NW flags are clear, caching of memory locations for the whole of physical memory in the processor’s internal (and external) caches is enabled. When the CD flag is set, caching is restricted as described in Table 10-5. To prevent the processor from accessing and updating its caches, the CD flag must be set and the caches must be invalidated so that no cache hits can occur. Figure 2-6.

The offset part of the logical address is added to the base address for the segment to locate a byte within the segment. The base address plus the offset thus forms a linear address in the processor’s linear address space. If paging is not used, the linear address space of the processor is mapped directly into the physical address space of processor. The physical address space is defined as the range of addresses that the processor can generate on its address bus. Because multitasking computing systems commonly define a linear address space much larger than it is economically feasible to contain all at once in physical memory, some method of “virtualizing” the linear address spaceis needed. This virtualization of the linear address space is handled through the processor’s paging mechanism. Paging supports a “virtual memory” environment where a large linear address space is simulated with a small amount of physical memory (RAM and ROM) and some disk Figure 3-1.

RAM (DRAM) is placed at the bottom of the address space because the initial base address for the DS data segment after reset initialization is 0. 3.2.2 Protected Flat Model The protected flat model is similar to the basic flat model, except the segment limits are set to include only the range of addresses for which physical memory actually exists (see Figure 3-3). A general-protection exception (#GP) is then generated on any attempt to access nonexistent memory. This model provides a minimum level of hardware protection against some kinds of program bugs.

If the linear address space is paged, a second level of address translation is used to trans- late the linear address into a physical address. See also: Section 3.6, “Paging (Virtual Memory) Overview”. 3.4.1 Logical Address Translation in IA-32e Mode In IA-32e mode, an Intel 64 processor uses the steps described above to translate a logical address to a linear address. In 64-bit mode, the offset and base address of the segment are 64-bits instead of 32 bits. The linear address format is also 64 bits wide and is subject to the canonical form requirement. Each code segment descriptor provides an L bit. This bit allows a code segment to execute 64-bit code or legacy 32-bit code by code segment. 3.4.2 Segment Selectors A segment selector is a 16-bit identifier for a segment (see Figure 3-6). It does not point directly to the segment, but instead points to the segment descriptor that defines the segment. A segment selector contains the following items: Index (Bits 3 through 15) — Selects one of 8192 descriptors in the GDT or LDT. The processor multiplies the index value by 8 (the number of bytes in a segment descriptor) and adds the result to the base address of the GDT or LDT (from the GDTR or LDTR register, respectively). Figure 3-5. Logical Address to Linear Address Translation Offset (Effective Address) 0 Base Address Descriptor Table Segment Descriptor 31(63) Seg. Selector 015 Logical Address + Linear Address 031(63) 3-10 Vol. 3 PROTECTED-MODE MEMORY MANAGEMENT TI (table indicator) flag (Bit 2) — Specifies the descriptor table to use: clearing this flag selects the GDT; setting this flag selects the current LDT. Requested Privilege Level (RPL) (Bits 0 and 1) — Specifies the privilege level of the selector. The priv- ilege level can range from 0 to 3, with 0 being the most privileged level. See Section 4.5, “Privilege Levels”, for a description of the rela- tionship of the RPL to the CPL of the executing program (or task) and the descriptor privilege level (DPL) of the descriptor the segment selector points to. The first entry of the GDT is not used by the processor. A segment selector that points to this entry of the GDT (that is, a segment selector with an index of 0 and the TI flag set to 0) is used as a “null segment selector.” The processor does not generate an exception when a segment register (other than the CS or SS registers) is loaded with a null selector. It does, however, generate an exception when a segment register holding a null selector is used to access memory. A null selector can be used to initialize unused segment registers. Loading the CS or SS register with a null segment selector causes a general-protection exception (#GP) to be generated. Segment selectors are visible to application programs as part of a pointer variable, but the values of selectors are usually assigned or modified by link editors or linking loaders, not application programs. 3.4.3 Segment Registers To reduce address translation time and coding complexity, the processor provides registers for holding up to 6 segment selectors (see Figure 3-7). Each of these segment registers support a specific kind of memory reference (code, stack, or data). For virtually any kind of program execution to take place, at least the code- segment (CS), data-segment (DS), and stack-segment (SS) registers must be loaded with valid segment selectors. The processor also provides three additional data-segment registers (ES, FS, and GS), which can be used to make additional data segments available to the currently executing program (or task).

Segment descriptors are typically created by compilers, linkers, loaders, or the operating system or executive, but not application programs. Figure 3-8 illustrates the general descriptor format for all types of segment descriptors. The flags and fields in a segment descriptor are as follows: Segment limit field Specifies the size of the segment. The processor puts together the two segment limit fields to form a 20-bit value. The processor inter- prets the segment limit in one of two ways, depending on the setting of the G (granularity) flag: • If the granularity flag is clear, the segment size can range from 1 byte to 1 MByte, in byte increments. • If the granularity flag is set, the segment size can range from 4 KBytes to 4 GBytes, in 4-KByte increments. The processor uses the segment limit in two different ways, depending on whether the segment is an expand-up or an expand- down segment. See Section 3.4.5.1, “Code- and Data-Segment Descriptor Types”, for more information about segment types. For expand-up segments, the offset in a logical address can range from 0 Figure 3-8.

Loading the SS register with a segment selector for a nonwritable data segment generates a general-protection exception (#GP). If the size of a stack segment needs to be changed dynamically, the stack segment can be an expand-down data segment (expansion-direction flag set). Here, dynamicallychanging the segment limit causes stack space to be added to the bottom of the stack. If the size of a stack segment is intended to remain static, the stack segment may be either an expand-up or expand- down type. The accessed bit indicates whether the segment has been accessed since the last time the operating-system or executive cleared the bit. The processor sets this bit whenever it loads a segment selector for the segment into a segment register, assuming that the type of memory that contains the segment descriptor supports processor writes. The bit remains set until explicitly cleared. This bit can be used both for virtual memory management and for debugging. Table 3-1.

These descriptor types fall into two categories: system-segment descriptors and gate descriptors. System-segment descriptors point to system segments (LDT and TSS segments). Gate descriptors are in themselves “gates,” which hold pointers to proce- dure entry points in code segments (call, interrupt, and trap gates) or which hold segment selectors for TSS’s (task gates). Table 3-2 shows the encoding of the type field for system-segment descriptors and gate descriptors. Note that system descriptors in IA-32e mode are 16 bytes instead of 8 bytes. Table 3-2.

A descriptor table is variable in length and can contain up to 8192 (213) 8-byte descrip- tors. There are two kinds of descriptor tables: • The global descriptor table (GDT) • The local descriptor tables (LDT) Figure 3-10.

An entry in the segment descriptor table can be 8 bytes. System descrip- tors are expanded to 16 bytes (occupying the space of two entries). GDTR and LDTR registers are expanded to hold 64-bit base address. The corre- sponding pseudo-descriptor is 80 bits. (see the bottom diagram in Figure 3-11). The following system descriptors expand to 16 bytes: — Call gate descriptors (see Section 4.8.3.1, “IA-32e Mode Call Gates”) — IDT gate descriptors (see Section 5.14.1, “64-Bit Mode IDT”) — LDT and TSS descriptors (see Section 6.2.3, “TSS Descriptor in 64-bit mode”). 3.6 PAGING (VIRTUAL MEMORY) OVERVIEW When operating in protected mode, IA-32 architecture permits linear address space to be mapped directly into a large physical memory (for example, 4 GBytes of RAM) or indirectly (using paging) into a smaller physical memory and disk storage. This latter method of mapping the linear address space is referred to as virtual memory or demand-paged virtual memory. When paging is used, the processor divides the linear address space into fixed-size pages (of 4 KBytes, 2 MBytes, or 4 MBytes in length) that can be mapped into phys- ical memory and/or disk storage. When a program (or task) references a logical address in memory, the processor translates the address into a linear address and then uses its paging mechanism to translate the linear address into a corresponding physical address. If the page containing the linear address is not currently in physical memory, the processor generates a page-fault exception (#PF). The exception handler for the page-fault exception typically directs the operating system or executive to load the page from disk storage into physical memory (perhaps writing a different page from physical memory out to disk in the process). When the page has been loaded in phys- ical memory, a return from the exception handler causes the instruction that gener- Figure 3-11.

The entries in the page directory point to page tables, and the entries in a page table point to pages in physical memory. This paging method can be used to address up to 220 pages, which spans a linear address space of 232 bytes (4 GBytes). To select the various table entries, the linear address is divided into three sections: • Page-directory entry — Bits 22 through 31 provide an offset to an entry in the page directory. The selected entry provides the base physical address of a page table. • Page-table entry — Bits 12 through 21 of the linear address provide an offset to an entry in the selected page table. This entry provides the base physical address of a page in physical memory. • Page offset — Bits 0 through 11 provides an offset to a physical address in the page. Memory management software has the option of using one page directory for all programs and tasks, one page directory for each task, or some combination of the two. Figure 3-12.

Figure 6-3 shows the format of a TSS descriptor. TSS descriptors may only be placed in the GDT; they cannot be placed in an LDT or the IDT. An attempt to access a TSS using a segment selector with its TI flag set (which indi- cates the current LDT) causes a general-protection exception (#GP) to be generated during CALLs and JMPs; it causes an invalid TSS exception (#TS) during IRETs. A general-protection exception is also generated if an attempt is made to load a segment selector for a TSS into a segment register. The busy flag (B) in the type field indicates whether the task is busy. A busy task is currently running or suspended. A type field with a value of 1001B indicates an inac- tive task; a value of 1011B indicates a busy task. Tasks are not recursive. The processor uses the busy flag to detect an attempt to call a task whose execution has been interrupted. To insure that there is only one busy flag is associated with a task, each TSS should have only one TSS descriptor that points to it. The base, limit, and DPL fields and the granularity and present flags have functions similar to their use in data-segment descriptors (see Section 3.4.5, “Segment Descriptors”). When the G flag is 0 in a TSS descriptor for a 32-bit TSS, the limit field must have a value equal to or greater than 67H, one byte less than the minimum size Figure 6-3.

It can be placed in the GDT, an LDT, or the IDT. The TSS segment selector field in a task-gate descriptor points to a TSS descriptor in the GDT. The RPL in this segment selector is not used. The DPL of a task-gate descriptor controls access to the TSS descriptor during a task switch. When a program or procedure makes a call or jump to a task through a task gate, the CPL and the RPL field of the gate selector pointing to the task gate must be less than or equal to the DPL of the task-gate descriptor. Note that when a task gate is used, the DPL of the destination TSS descriptor is not used. A task can be accessed either through a task-gate descriptor or a TSS descriptor. Both of these structures satisfy the following needs: • Need for a task to have only one busy flag — Because the busy flag for a task is stored in the TSS descriptor, each task should have only one TSS descriptor. There may, however, be several task gates that reference the same TSS descriptor. • Need to provide selective access to tasks — Task gates fill this need, because they can reside in an LDT and can have a DPL that is different from the TSS descriptor's DPL. A program or procedure that does not have sufficient privilege to access the TSS descriptor for a task in the GDT (which usually has a DPL of 0) may be allowed access to the task through a task gate with a higher DPL. Task gates give the operating system greater latitude for limiting access to specific tasks. • Need for an interrupt or exception to be handled by an independent task — Task gates may also reside in the IDT, which allows interrupts and exceptions Figure 6-6.
