Entering the 64-bit Submode from Long Mode

[teodori]

Hello everyone, I managed to go into Long Mode with Compatibility SubMode, but what I wanted is Long Mode with 64-Bit SubMode. I created a 64 bit GDT an loaded it, but bochs tells me that I am in:

What am I doing wrong?

Did you make a far jump to a 64 bit code segment?

[teodori]

Hm yeah I did one... but when I am in Compatibility Mode I can't use far jumps anymore. I know how to get to Long Mode, but I don't know how to get to 64-Bit Mode. Do I have to load the 64-Bit GDT before doing the far jump, like when I switch from 16-Bit to 32-Bit?

I looked up in http://wiki.osdev.org/User:Stephanvansc ... it_Submode

Code: Select all

# Load Control Register CR4
# Enable Page Size Extension (Bit 4 in CR4)
# Enable Physical Address Extension (Bit 5 in CR4)
# Enable Page Global Enabled (Bit 7 in CR4)
# Store Control Register CR4
movl %cr4, %eax
orl $(1<<4), %eax
orl $(1<<5), %eax
orl $(1<<7), %eax
movl %eax, %cr4

# Use Model Specific Register 0xC0000080
# Read from MSR
# Enable Long Mode (Bit 8 in MSR)
# Write to MSR
movl $0xc0000080, %ecx
rdmsr
orl $(1<<8), %eax
wrmsr

# Load Control Register CR0
# Enable Paging (Bit 31 in CR0)
# Store Control Register CR0
movl %cr0, %eax
orl $(1<<31), %eax
movl %eax, %cr0

# Setup all Segment Registers

Of course you can. That's also what the code you quoted is doing - it enters Long Mode, reloads the segment registers and does a far jump.

Do I have to load the 64-Bit GDT before doing the far jump, like when I switch from 16-Bit to 32-Bit?

Yes - you need a 64-bit code segment to which you can do the far jump, and that should be in your 64-bit GDT.

For comparison, here is how I enter 64-bit long mode: https://gitorious.org/sortix/sortix/sou ... oot.s#L115

Looks quite similar to my code:
