When computing a linear address and segmentation is used, we need to know the base address of the segment involved in the computation. In most of the cases, the segment base address will be zero as in USER_DS/USER32_DS. However, it may be possible that a user space program defines its own segments via a local descriptor table. In such a case, the segment base address may not be zero. Thus, the segment base address is needed to calculate correctly the linear address. If running in protected mode, the segment selector to be used when computing a linear address is determined by either any of segment override prefixes in the instruction or inferred from the registers involved in the computation of the effective address; in that order. Also, there are cases when the segment override prefixes shall be ignored (i.e., code segments are always selected by the CS segment register; string instructions always use the ES segment register when using rDI register as operand). In long mode, segment registers are ignored, except for FS and GS. In these two cases, base addresses are obtained from the respective MSRs. For clarity, this process can be split into four steps (and an equal number of functions): determine if segment prefixes overrides can be used; parse the segment override prefixes, and use them if found; if not found or cannot be used, use the default segment registers associated with the operand registers. Once the segment register to use has been identified, read its value to obtain the segment selector. The method to obtain the segment selector depends on several factors. In 32-bit builds, segment selectors are saved into a pt_regs structure when switching to kernel mode. The same is also true for virtual-8086 mode. In 64-bit builds, segmentation is mostly ignored, except when running a program in 32-bit legacy mode. In this case, CS and SS can be obtained from pt_regs. DS, ES, FS and GS can be read directly from the respective segment registers. In order to identify the segment registers, a new set of #defines is introduced. It also includes two special identifiers. One of them indicates when the default segment register associated with instruction operands shall be used. Another one indicates that the contents of the segment register shall be ignored; this identifier is used when in long mode.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
