Struct EntryOptions

#[repr(C)]
pub struct EntryOptions { /* private fields */ }

Represents the 4 non-offset bytes of an IDT entry.

Implementations

impl EntryOptions

pub unsafe fn set_code_selector(&mut self, cs: SegmentSelector) -> &mut Self

Set the code segment that will be used by this interrupt.

Safety

This function is unsafe because the caller must ensure that the passed segment selector points to a valid, long-mode code segment.

pub fn set_present(&mut self, present: bool) -> &mut Self

Set or reset the preset bit.

pub fn disable_interrupts(&mut self, disable: bool) -> &mut Self

Let the CPU disable hardware interrupts when the handler is invoked. By default, interrupts are disabled on handler invocation.

pub fn set_privilege_level(&mut self, dpl: PrivilegeLevel) -> &mut Self

Set the required privilege level (DPL) for invoking the handler. The DPL can be 0, 1, 2, or 3, the default is 0. If CPL < DPL, a general protection fault occurs.

pub unsafe fn set_stack_index(&mut self, index: u16) -> &mut Self

Assigns a Interrupt Stack Table (IST) stack to this handler. The CPU will then always switch to the specified stack before the handler is invoked. This allows kernels to recover from corrupt stack pointers (e.g., on kernel stack overflow).

An IST stack is specified by an IST index between 0 and 6 (inclusive). Using the same stack for multiple interrupts can be dangerous when nested interrupts are possible.

This function panics if the index is not in the range 0..7.

Safety

This function is unsafe because the caller must ensure that the passed stack index is valid and not used by other interrupts. Otherwise, memory safety violations are possible.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for EntryOptions

fn clone(&self) -> EntryOptions

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for EntryOptions

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq for EntryOptions

fn eq(&self, other: &EntryOptions) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
