  • What is the output of systemctl cat run-netns-vpn.mount? Just mounting the nsfs filesystem to track network namespaces is not necessarily the same thing as actually creating the network namespace name "vpn": at least on Debian 9, the command ip netns add vpn will both create the namespace and mount the nsfs filesystem at the same time, so it's possible you don't need a dedicated mount unit for that. Just make sure /run/netns exists before running ip netns add!

  • The output is No files found for run-netns-vpn.mount. I didn't create a mount file manually. The mount appears when the nfs is created using ip netns add vpn as part of a custom openvpn service (using --up). Unfortunately that service shows up as running a few seconds before actually making the tunnel and executing other scripts, so using Requires= on that doesn't work.

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...
