Bochs question

Post by teodori »

Hello when I am switching from compatibility mode to 64 bit submode in bochs, it gives me following answer:

Code: Select all

00259400000i[     ] restoring default signal behavior
00259400000i[CTRL ] quit_sim called with exit code 1
does this mean I am in 64 bit submode or not, because CS.d_b is 16 bit???

Which Bochs version are you using? My output from 2.6.2 looks like this:

Code: Select all

i02027436000:[CPU0 ] CPU is in long mode (halted)
i02027436000:[CPU0 ] CS.mode = 64 bit
i02027436000:[CPU0 ] SS.mode = 64 bit
i02027436000:[CPU0 ] EFER   = 0x00000501
And what does your code look like, that takes you to 64 bit mode - and the code descriptor of your 64 bit code segment?

Bochs x86 Emulator 2.4.6

64 bit GDT

Code: Select all

	# Null Descriptor
	.word 0x0000, 0x0000
	.byte 0x00, 0b00000000, 0b00000000, 0x00
	# Code Descriptor
	.word 0xffff, 0x0000
	.byte 0x00, 0b10011010, 0b10101111, 0x00
	# Data Descriptor
	.word 0xffff, 0x0000
	.byte 0x00, 0b10010010, 0b10101111, 0x00
Oh the output is different, you got:

Code: Select all

CS.mode = 64 bit
SS.mode = 64 bit
but I got:

Code: Select all

CS.d_b = 16 bit
SS.d_b = 16 bit

Looks like your Bochs version is rather old... You should consider using an up-to-date one.
64 bit GDT

Code: Select all

	# Null Descriptor
	.word 0x0000, 0x0000
	.byte 0x00, 0b00000000, 0b00000000, 0x00
	# Code Descriptor
	.word 0xffff, 0x0000
	.byte 0x00, 0b10011010, 0b10101111, 0x00
	# Data Descriptor
	.word 0xffff, 0x0000
	.byte 0x00, 0b10010010, 0b10101111, 0x00
Also here we differ. Using your notation, this is my GDT (basically - see entries 0x20 and 0x30 in my code)

Code: Select all

	# Null Descriptor
	.word 0x0000, 0x0000
	.byte 0x00, 0b00000000, 0b00000000, 0x00
	# Code Descriptor
	.word 0xffff, 0x0000
	.byte 0x00, 0b10011010, 0b00101111, 0x00
	# Data Descriptor
	.word 0xffff, 0x0000
	.byte 0x00, 0b10010010, 0b11001111, 0x00
...but the difference should concern only fields that are ignored anyway.

Upd:
It seems that you've chosen wrong CPU in your .bochsrc:
cpu/msr.cc +252:

Code: Select all

    case BX_MSR_EFER:
      if (! BX_CPU_THIS_PTR efer_suppmask) {
        BX_ERROR(("RDMSR MSR_EFER: EFER MSR is not supported !"));
        return handle_unknown_rdmsr(index, msr);
      }
      val64 = BX_CPU_THIS_PTR efer.get32();
      break;
cpu/init.cc +755:

Code: Select all

  BX_CPU_THIS_PTR efer.set32(0);
  BX_CPU_THIS_PTR efer_suppmask = 0;
  if (BX_CPUID_SUPPORT_CPU_EXTENSION(BX_CPU_NX))
    BX_CPU_THIS_PTR efer_suppmask |= BX_EFER_NXE_MASK;
  if (BX_CPUID_SUPPORT_ISA_EXTENSION(BX_ISA_SYSCALL_SYSRET_LEGACY))
    BX_CPU_THIS_PTR efer_suppmask |= BX_EFER_SCE_MASK;
#if BX_SUPPORT_X86_64
  if (BX_CPUID_SUPPORT_CPU_EXTENSION(BX_CPU_LONG_MODE)) {
    BX_CPU_THIS_PTR efer_suppmask |= (BX_EFER_SCE_MASK | BX_EFER_LME_MASK | BX_EFER_LMA_MASK);
    if (BX_CPUID_SUPPORT_CPU_EXTENSION(BX_CPU_FFXSR))
      BX_CPU_THIS_PTR efer_suppmask |= BX_EFER_FFXSR_MASK;
    if (BX_CPUID_SUPPORT_ISA_EXTENSION(BX_ISA_SVM))
      BX_CPU_THIS_PTR efer_suppmask |= BX_EFER_SVME_MASK;
  }
#endif

Nop :-) missing config option before compile:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
rm -rf bochs-2.6.2
tar -xJf bochs-2.6.2.tar.xz
cd bochs-2.6.2
./configure --enable-x86-64 --with-all-libs --prefix /opt
make -j4
cd ..
now I get:
