Hi everyone,

It ís me again .

I have an issue with memmove function. When my OS run into memmove function. Everything works correctly if there is no interrupt happened. If there is interrupt happened, when the memmove's thread back, it raises exception General Protection. The context is saved correctly. Please help

void* memmove(void* des, void* src, size_t size)
{
size_t numq = size >> 3;
size_t numb = size & 0b111;
if (des < src)
{
uint64 *qdes = (uint64*)des;
uint64 *qsrc = (uint64*)src;
for (size_t i = 0; i < numq; ++i)
{
qdes = qsrc;
// printf(" %d ", i);
}
uint8 *bdes = (uint8*)(des + numq * ;
uint8 *bsrc = (uint8*)(src + numq * ;
for (size_t i = 0; i < numb; ++i)
{
bdes = bsrc;
}
}
return des;
}

Is it restored correctly? Clearly both can't be true.

Yep, but i handle interrupt in the same stack, can it change data in function stack? I see that the saved rbp is the same with saved rsp , so that when interruptHanler is call, it change the local in my function

If you are using a compiler that uses the SystemV AMD64 ABI, such as GCC, you must remember to disable the red zone for code that runs in kernel mode (-mno-red-zone on GCC), because it will be overwritten on every interrupt.

Thank you. It works!
