TASK MANAGEMENT
6.7 TASK MANAGEMENT IN 64-BIT MODE
In 64-bit mode, task structure and task state are similar to those in protected mode. However, the
task switching mechanism available in protected mode is not supported in 64-bit mode. Task
management and switching must be performed by software. The processor issues a general-
protection exception (#GP) if the following is attempted in 64-bit mode:
Control transfer to a TSS or a task gate using JMP, CALL, INTn, or interrupt.
An IRET with EFLAGS.NT (nested task) set to 1.
Although hardware task-switching is not supported in 64-bit mode, a 64-bit task state segment
(TSS) must exist. Figure 6-11 shows the format of a 64-bit TSS. The TSS holds information
important to 64-bit mode and that is not directly related to the task-switch mechanism. This
information includes:
RSPn — The full 64-bit canonical forms of the stack pointers (RSP) for privilege levels
0-2.
ISTn — The full 64-bit canonical forms of the interrupt stack table (IST) pointers.
I/O map base address — The 16-bit offset to the I/O permission bit map from the 64-bit
TSS base.
The operating system must create at least one 64-bit TSS after activating IA-32e mode. It must
execute the LTR instruction (in 64-bit mode) to load the TR register with a pointer to the 64-bit
TSS responsible for both 64-bit-mode programs and compatibility-mode programs.
