Andrew Boie	3aecba10f7	scripts: add version check for pyelftools ... Versions before 0.24 have string handling issues in Python 3. Signed-off-by: Andrew Boie <andrew.p.boie@intel.com>	2017-07-25 13:41:16 -04:00
Andrew Boie	8a102e44ed	x86: allow IDT vectors to be task gates ... This has one use-case: configuring the double-fault #DF exception handler to do an IA task switch to a special IA task with a known good stack, such that we can dump diagnostic information and then panic. Will be used for stack overflow detection in kernel mode, as otherwise the CPU will triple-fault and reset. Signed-off-by: Andrew Boie <andrew.p.boie@intel.com>	2017-07-25 11:32:36 -04:00
Andrew Boie	ddf9f4be31	x86: convert gen_idt to Python ... This is one less host tool we have to compile for every build, and makes the build tools more portable across host OSes. The code is also much simpler to maintain. Issue: ZEP-2063 Signed-off-by: Andrew Boie <andrew.p.boie@intel.com>	2017-07-25 11:32:36 -04:00
