}

An Interrupt Descriptor Table with 256 entries.

The first 32 entries are used for CPU exceptions. These entries can be either accessed through fields on this struct or through an index operation, e.g. idt[0] returns the first entry, the entry for the divide_error exception. Note that the index access is not possible for entries for which an error code is pushed.

The remaining entries are used for interrupts. They can be accesed through index operations on the idt, e.g. idt[32] returns the first interrupt entry, which is the 32nd IDT entry).

The field descriptions are taken from the AMD64 manual volume 2 (with slight modifications).

Fields

divide_error: Entry<unsafe extern "x86-interrupt" fn(_: InterruptStack)>

A divide error (#DE) occurs when the denominator of a DIV instruction or an IDIV instruction is 0. A #DE also occurs if the result is too large to be represented in the destination.

The saved instruction pointer points to the instruction that caused the #DE.

The vector number of the #DE exception is 0.

debug: Entry<unsafe extern "x86-interrupt" fn(_: InterruptStack)>

When the debug-exception mechanism is enabled, a #DB exception can occur under any of the following circumstances:

• Instruction execution.
• Instruction single stepping.
• Data read.
• Data write.
• I/O read.
• I/O write.
• Task switch.
• Debug-register access, or general detect fault (debug register access when DR7.GD=1).
• Executing the INT1 instruction (opcode 0F1h).

#DB conditions are enabled and disabled using the debug-control register, DR7 and RFLAGS.TF.

In the following cases, the saved instruction pointer points to the instruction that caused the #DB:

• Instruction execution.
• Invalid debug-register access, or general detect.

In all other cases, the instruction that caused the #DB is completed, and the saved instruction pointer points to the instruction after the one that caused the #DB.

The vector number of the #DB exception is 1.

non_maskable_interrupt: Entry<unsafe extern "x86-interrupt" fn(_: InterruptStack)>

An non maskable interrupt exception (NMI) occurs as a result of system logic signaling a non-maskable interrupt to the processor.

The processor recognizes an NMI at an instruction boundary. The saved instruction pointer points to the instruction immediately following the boundary where the NMI was recognized.

The vector number of the NMI exception is 2.

breakpoint: Entry<unsafe extern "x86-interrupt" fn(_: InterruptStack)>

A breakpoint (#BP) exception occurs when an INT3 instruction is executed. The INT3 is normally used by debug software to set instruction breakpoints by replacing

The saved instruction pointer points to the byte after the INT3 instruction.

The vector number of the #BP exception is 3.

overflow: Entry<unsafe extern "x86-interrupt" fn(_: InterruptStack)>

An overflow exception (#OF) occurs as a result of executing an INTO instruction while the overflow bit in RFLAGS is set to 1.

The saved instruction pointer points to the instruction following the INTO instruction that caused the #OF.

The vector number of the #OF exception is 4.

bound_range_exceeded: Entry<unsafe extern "x86-interrupt" fn(_: InterruptStack)>

A bound-range exception (#BR) exception can occur as a result of executing the BOUND instruction. The BOUND instruction compares an array index (first operand) with the lower bounds and upper bounds of an array (second operand). If the array index is not within the array boundary, the #BR occurs.

The saved instruction pointer points to the BOUND instruction that caused the #BR.

The vector number of the #BR exception is 5.

invalid_opcode: Entry<unsafe extern "x86-interrupt" fn(_: InterruptStack)>

An invalid opcode exception (#UD) occurs when an attempt is made to execute an invalid or undefined opcode. The validity of an opcode often depends on the processor operating mode.

A `#UD` occurs under the following conditions:

• Execution of any reserved or undefined opcode in any mode.
• Execution of the UD2 instruction.
• Use of the LOCK prefix on an instruction that cannot be locked.
• Use of the LOCK prefix on a lockable instruction with a non-memory target location.
• Execution of an instruction with an invalid-operand type.
• Execution of the SYSENTER or SYSEXIT instructions in long mode.
• Execution of any of the following instructions in 64-bit mode: AAA, AAD, AAM, AAS, BOUND, CALL (opcode 9A), DAA, DAS, DEC, INC, INTO, JMP (opcode EA), LDS, LES, POP (DS, ES, SS), POPA, PUSH (CS, DS, ES, SS), PUSHA, SALC.
• Execution of the ARPL, LAR, LLDT, LSL, LTR, SLDT, STR, VERR, or VERW instructions when protected mode is not enabled, or when virtual-8086 mode is enabled.
• Execution of any legacy SSE instruction when CR4.OSFXSR is cleared to 0.
• Execution of any SSE instruction (uses YMM/XMM registers), or 64-bit media instruction (uses MMXTM registers) when CR0.EM = 1.
• Execution of any SSE floating-point instruction (uses YMM/XMM registers) that causes a numeric exception when CR4.OSXMMEXCPT = 0.
• Use of the DR4 or DR5 debug registers when CR4.DE = 1.
• Execution of RSM when not in SMM mode.

The saved instruction pointer points to the instruction that caused the #UD.

The vector number of the #UD exception is 6.

device_not_available: Entry<unsafe extern "x86-interrupt" fn(_: InterruptStack)>

A device not available exception (#NM) occurs under any of the following conditions:

• An FWAIT/WAIT instruction is executed when CR0.MP=1 and CR0.TS=1.
• Any x87 instruction other than FWAIT is executed when CR0.EM=1.
• Any x87 instruction is executed when CR0.TS=1. The CR0.MP bit controls whether the FWAIT/WAIT instruction causes an #NM exception when TS=1.
• Any 128-bit or 64-bit media instruction when CR0.TS=1.

The saved instruction pointer points to the instruction that caused the #NM.

The vector number of the #NM exception is 7.

double_fault: Entry<unsafe extern "x86-interrupt" fn(_: InterruptStack, error_code: u32) -> !>

A double fault (#DF) exception can occur when a second exception occurs during the handling of a prior (first) exception or interrupt handler.

Usually, the first and second exceptions can be handled sequentially without resulting in a #DF. In this case, the first exception is considered benign, as it does not harm the ability of the processor to handle the second exception. In some cases, however, the first exception adversely affects the ability of the processor to handle the second exception. These exceptions contribute to the occurrence of a #DF, and are called contributory exceptions. The following exceptions are contributory:

• Invalid-TSS Exception
• Segment-Not-Present Exception
• Stack Exception
• General-Protection Exception

A double-fault exception occurs in the following cases:

• If a contributory exception is followed by another contributory exception.
• If a divide-by-zero exception is followed by a contributory exception.
• If a page fault is followed by another page fault or a contributory exception.

If a third interrupting event occurs while transferring control to the #DF handler, the processor shuts down.

The returned error code is always zero. The saved instruction pointer is undefined, and the program cannot be restarted.

The vector number of the #DF exception is 8.

coprocessor_segment_overrun: Entry<unsafe extern "x86-interrupt" fn(_: InterruptStack)>

This interrupt vector is reserved. It is for a discontinued exception originally used by processors that supported external x87-instruction coprocessors. On those processors, the exception condition is caused by an invalid-segment or invalid-page access on an x87-instruction coprocessor-instruction operand. On current processors, this condition causes a general-protection exception to occur.

invalid_tss: Entry<unsafe extern "x86-interrupt" fn(_: InterruptStack, error_code: u32)>

An invalid TSS exception (#TS) occurs only as a result of a control transfer through a gate descriptor that results in an invalid stack-segment reference using an SS selector in the TSS.

The returned error code is the SS segment selector. The saved instruction pointer points to the control-transfer instruction that caused the #TS.

The vector number of the #TS exception is 10.

segment_not_present: Entry<unsafe extern "x86-interrupt" fn(_: InterruptStack, error_code: u32)>

An segment-not-present exception (#NP) occurs when an attempt is made to load a segment or gate with a clear present bit.

The returned error code is the segment-selector index of the segment descriptor causing the #NP exception. The saved instruction pointer points to the instruction that loaded the segment selector resulting in the #NP.

The vector number of the #NP exception is 11.

stack_segment_fault: Entry<unsafe extern "x86-interrupt" fn(_: InterruptStack, error_code: u32)>

An stack segment exception (#SS) can occur in the following situations:

• Implied stack references in which the stack address is not in canonical form. Implied stack references include all push and pop instructions, and any instruction using RSP or RBP as a base register.
• Attempting to load a stack-segment selector that references a segment descriptor containing a clear present bit.
• Any stack access that fails the stack-limit check.

The returned error code depends on the cause of the #SS. If the cause is a cleared present bit, the error code is the corresponding segment selector. Otherwise, the error code is zero. The saved instruction pointer points to the instruction that caused the #SS.

The vector number of the #NP exception is 12.

general_protection_fault: Entry<unsafe extern "x86-interrupt" fn(_: InterruptStack, error_code: u32)>

A general protection fault (#GP) can occur in various situations. Common causes include:

• Executing a privileged instruction while CPL > 0.
• Writing a 1 into any register field that is reserved, must be zero (MBZ).
• Attempting to execute an SSE instruction specifying an unaligned memory operand.
• Loading a non-canonical base address into the GDTR or IDTR.
• Using WRMSR to write a read-only MSR.
• Any long-mode consistency-check violation.

The returned error code is a segment selector, if the cause of the #GP is segment-related, and zero otherwise. The saved instruction pointer points to the instruction that caused the #GP.

The vector number of the #GP exception is 13.

page_fault: Entry<unsafe extern "x86-interrupt" fn(_: InterruptStack, error_code: PageFaultError)>

A page fault (#PF) can occur during a memory access in any of the following situations:

• A page-translation-table entry or physical page involved in translating the memory access is not present in physical memory. This is indicated by a cleared present bit in the translation-table entry.
• An attempt is made by the processor to load the instruction TLB with a translation for a non-executable page.
• The memory access fails the paging-protection checks (user/supervisor, read/write, or both).
• A reserved bit in one of the page-translation-table entries is set to 1. A #PF occurs for this reason only when CR4.PSE=1 or CR4.PAE=1.

The virtual (linear) address that caused the #PF is stored in the CR2 register. The saved instruction pointer points to the instruction that caused the #PF.

The page-fault error code is described by the PageFaultErrorCode struct.

The vector number of the #PF exception is 14.

reserved_1: Entry<unsafe extern "x86-interrupt" fn(_: InterruptStack)>

vector nr. 15

x87_floating_point: Entry<unsafe extern "x86-interrupt" fn(_: InterruptStack)>

The x87 Floating-Point Exception-Pending exception (#MF) is used to handle unmasked x87 floating-point exceptions. In 64-bit mode, the x87 floating point unit is not used anymore, so this exception is only relevant when executing programs in the 32-bit compatibility mode.

The vector number of the #MF exception is 16.

alignment_check: Entry<unsafe extern "x86-interrupt" fn(_: InterruptStack, error_code: u32)>

An alignment check exception (#AC) occurs when an unaligned-memory data reference is performed while alignment checking is enabled. An #AC can occur only when CPL=3.

The returned error code is always zero. The saved instruction pointer points to the instruction that caused the #AC.

The vector number of the #AC exception is 17.

machine_check: Entry<unsafe extern "x86-interrupt" fn(_: InterruptStack) -> !>

The machine check exception (#MC) is model specific. Processor implementations are not required to support the #MC exception, and those implementations that do support #MC can vary in how the #MC exception mechanism works.

There is no reliable way to restart the program.

The vector number of the #MC exception is 18.

simd_floating_point: Entry<unsafe extern "x86-interrupt" fn(_: InterruptStack)>

The SIMD Floating-Point Exception (#XF) is used to handle unmasked SSE floating-point exceptions. The SSE floating-point exceptions reported by the #XF exception are (including mnemonics):

• IE: Invalid-operation exception (also called #I).
• DE: Denormalized-operand exception (also called #D).
• ZE: Zero-divide exception (also called #Z).
• OE: Overflow exception (also called #O).
• UE: Underflow exception (also called #U).
• PE: Precision exception (also called #P or inexact-result exception).

The saved instruction pointer points to the instruction that caused the #XF.

The vector number of the #XF exception is 19.

virtualization: Entry<unsafe extern "x86-interrupt" fn(_: InterruptStack)>

vector nr. 20

reserved_2: [Entry<unsafe extern "x86-interrupt" fn(_: InterruptStack)>; 9]

vector nr. 21-29

security_exception: Entry<unsafe extern "x86-interrupt" fn(_: InterruptStack, error_code: u32)>

The Security Exception (#SX) signals security-sensitive events that occur while executing the VMM, in the form of an exception so that the VMM may take appropriate action. (A VMM would typically intercept comparable sensitive events in the guest.) In the current implementation, the only use of the #SX is to redirect external INITs into an exception so that the VMM may — among other possibilities.

The only error code currently defined is 1, and indicates redirection of INIT has occurred.

The vector number of the #SX exception is 30.

reserved_3: Entry<unsafe extern "x86-interrupt" fn(_: InterruptStack)>

vector nr. 31

interrupts: [Entry<unsafe extern "x86-interrupt" fn(_: InterruptStack)>; 224]

User-defined interrupts can be initiated either by system logic or software. They occur when:

• System logic signals an external interrupt request to the processor. The signaling mechanism and the method of communicating the interrupt vector to the processor are implementation dependent.
• Software executes an INTn instruction. The INTn instruction operand provides the interrupt vector number.

Both methods can be used to initiate an interrupt into vectors 0 through 255. However, because vectors 0 through 31 are defined or reserved by the AMD64 architecture, software should not use vectors in this range for purposes other than their defined use.

The saved instruction pointer depends on the interrupt source:

• External interrupts are recognized on instruction boundaries. The saved instruction pointer points to the instruction immediately following the boundary where the external interrupt was recognized.
• If the interrupt occurs as a result of executing the INTn instruction, the saved instruction pointer points to the instruction after the INTn.
