[−][src]Crate x86

Modules

bits16	Data structures and functions used by 16-bit mode.
bits32	Data structures and functions used by 32-bit mode.
bits64	Data structures and functions used by IA-32e but not Protected Mode.
controlregs	Functions to read and write control registers. See Intel Vol. 3a Section 2.5, especially Figure 2-7.
cpuid	Support for the CPUID instructions.
current	A short-cut to the architecture (bits32 or bits64) this crate was compiled for.
dtables	Functions and data-structures for working with descriptor tables.
io	I/O port functionality.
irq	Shared interrupt description and set-up code. See the `bits*::irq` modules for arch-specific portions.
msr	MSR value list and function to read and write them.
random	Instructions to generate random bits directly from the hardware (RDRAND and RDSEED).
segmentation	Functionality to manipulate segment registers, build segement descriptors and selectors.
task	Helpers to program the task state segment. See Intel 3a, Chapter 7
time	Functions to read time stamp counters on x86.
tlb	Functions to flush the translation lookaside buffer (TLB).
xapic	Information about the xAPIC and x2APIC mode for the local APIC.

int	Generate a software interrupt. This is a macro argument needs to be an immediate.
syscall

Ring	x86 Protection levels

halt ^⚠	Stops instruction execution and places the processor in a HALT state.
rdpid ^⚠	Read Processor ID
