This is why Minix doesn't work properly [or at all, really] -admittedly, I don't think Minix is the most critical operating system inthe world, but one part of fixing this up is to avoid having to fix furhter "weirdness" in various operating systems, right? Well, the core logic calls out to a macro that then ignores the base. The obvious thing to do is have add a new call-out hook in struct x86_mem_emulator to read base address of a specified selector. Or we could simply pass them in as an array, perhaps as structs allowing us to determine other useful info like stack segment address size. If we do that then we get rid of all real vs. protected mode segmentation differences in the core emulator. We always call out or read from the array. That gets us support for big real mode too. If you want to add extensions or flexibility to x86_emulate for this stuff, please try to trickle piecemeal patches to me. I prefer that to big-bang uber patches. I can also make sure it integrates properly with current uses of the emulator. -- Keir -- KeirWhat header files are those? It builds in tools/test/without so manyheader files.'hg status' says:I'll fix that.Ok, thanks. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
