x86 / amd64 library

Library to program x86 (amd64) hardware. Contains x86 specific data structure descriptions, data-tables, as well as convenience function to call assembly instructions typically not exposed in higher level languages.

Currently supports * I/O registers * Control registers * MSR registers * Segmentation * Descriptor-tables (GDT, LDT, IDT) * IA32-e page table layout * Interrupts * Task state * Querying CPUID (uses raw_cpuid library) * Performance counter information * Intel SGX: Software Guard Extensions

This library depends on libcore so it can be used in kernel level code.

Features

• performance-counter: Includes the performance counter information. Note this feature can increase compilation time significantly due to large statically generated hash-tables that are included in the source. In case you do not need performance-counter information you can disable it using: cargo build --no-default-features
