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 (with xAPIC and x2APIC registers) * Task state * Performance counter information * Intel SGX: Software Guard Extensions * Random numbers (rdrand, rdseed) * Time (rdtsc, rdtscp) * Querying CPUID (uses raw_cpuid library)
This library depends on libcore so it can be used in kernel level code.
