Hi,

Barry deFreese, le Sun 29 Oct 2006 22:30:12 -0500, a écrit :

I finally think I have the i386_{get,set}_gdt stuff from oskit ported into

the gnumach branch.  I haven't tested the gdt functionality but it does
build and boot.

Great!
See my comments below.

As I told you on irc, GDTS should be increased to 13, (because it was 11
and we're adding 2 slots), not 0x80/8 (which makes 16).

Else it looks fine.  This of course needs a few tests before committing.

OK, I'm trying to do some testing and not having much luck. However, I also noticed that i386_{get,set}_gdt is not getting in mach_i386.h. What am I missing there? Do I need to do some MiG magic to get it from mach_i386.defs to mach_i386.h?

Thanks!

OK thanks to Samuels patience and help, I have an improved patch that does work and has been moderately tested.
