|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Fn i386_vm86
|
|
will set the process into virtual 8086 mode using the registers and
|
|
selectors specified by the context pointed to by
|
|
.Ar vmcp .
|
|
The processor registers are set from
|
|
.Ar vmcp-\*[Gt]substr.regs ,
|
|
and the emulated processor type from
|
|
.Ar vmcp-\*[Gt]substr.ss_cpu_type .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The kernel keeps a pointer to the context, and uses the tables stored at
|
|
.Ar vmcp-\*[Gt]int_byuser
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar vmcp-\*[Gt]int21_byuser
|
|
for fast virtual interrupt handling.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Ar n th
|
|
bit is clear in the first of these arrays,
|
|
then the kernel may directly emulate the real-mode x86 INT
|
|
.Ar n
|
|
instruction handling.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Ar n
|
|
th bit is set, then the process is
|
|
delivered a signal when an INT instruction is executed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Since MS-DOS puts many DOS functions onto interrupt 21, it is handled
|
|
specially: the
|
|
.Ar k
|
|
th bit in the
|
|
.Ar vmcp-\*[Gt]int21_byuser
|
|
array is checked when INT
|
|
.Ar 21
|
|
is requested and the
|
|
.Ar ah
|
|
register is
|
|
.Ar k .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
This routine does not normally return: 32-bit mode will be restored by
|
|
the delivery of a signal to the process.
|
|
In case of an error in setting
|
|
the VM86 mode, a value of \-1 is returned and the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Fn i386_vm86
|
|
will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width [EINVAL]
|
|
.It Bq Er EFAULT
|
|
The state at
|
|
.Ar vmcp
|
|
was not readable to the user process.
