I installed CentOS 7 on VirtualBox but see the CPU usage at 100% by vmtoolsd. I tried multiple ways to bring it down e.g. by doing "lodctr /R" and removing open-vmware-tool but so far no success. I have Windows Host with 16 GB and allocated 8GB to centos vm.

          open-vmware-tool is for running linux under VWMare. As you are using VirtualBox then you don't need it.



          If you remove it, then it cannot use the CPU. However, if you simply uninstall it with yum there is the possibility of it still running as it has already loaded.



          It might be worth rebooting the guest (CentOS) after you uninstall it, or alternatively kill vmtoolsd with:



          $ sudo killall vmtoolsd


          or if you don't use sudo on CentOS, as root with:



          # killall vmtoolsd

          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...
