Is it possible? I only want a few selected packages like the kernel (for hardware support), and leave everything else as-is on jessie. How can it be done? Thank you.

          You can download Buster linux-image package from Debian repository (it contains kernel, kernel modules and installation scripts in post-inst). I've just tested this scenario but for Stretch (kernel was 4.9.0-5, now it's 4.15.0-2) and VM successfully loaded.



          UPD



          Also I forget to add that you can install new kernel package from backports Jessie repository directly or add to /etc/apt/sources.list next strings and download new kernel package as ordinary via apt-get:



          # Backports repository
          deb http://deb.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main contrib non-free
          deb http://deb.debian.org/debian jessie-backports-sloppy main contrib non-free


          If package from backports is enough for you, then it's the best approach then Buster package.

          How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

          Image
          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
