what is the fatest way to trigger ring 0 code?
I am looking for the fastest method for user code to trigger supervisor code. From what i read i think it is the syenter/sysexit and syscall/sysret pairsbut i'm not sure.

Moved topic and I believe you are correct - it's sysenter/exit and syscall/ret.

At least, they were designed to be faster than conventional methods. The problem is, they aren't supported on all systems while far calls (brendan's next favorite) are.

Are far calls, calls using a special gate in the GDT? And how slower is it?Combuster wrote:At least, they were designed to be faster than conventional methods. The problem is, they aren't supported on all systems while far calls (brendan's next favorite) are.
