Hi,

I have been trying to move my Rust kernel from identity mapping to instead map the kernel at 0xffffffff80000000. There have been a bunch of problems with this, all of which I've fixed except a weird page fault when trying to create the IDT. I'm using spin::Once to create the IDT which is just a `[IdtEntry; 256]` primitive like so:
Code:
static IDT : Once<Idt> = Once::new();

pub fn init()
{
...
IDT.call_once(
    || {
        let mut idt = Idt::new();
        idt
    });
...
}

On returning the IDT from the closure (`spin` then puts the return value into the static variable), a page fault occurs:
Code:
check_exception old: 0xffffffff new 0xe             
     0: v=0e e=0002 i=0 cpl=0 IP=0008:ffffffff801119fe pc=ffffffff801119fe SP=0010:ffffffff80120db0 CR2=ffffffff80120dd0


From the error code and CR2, I established that the page containing 0xffffffff80120dd0 isn't present. This seemed simple - there was a bug in the code that allocates the ELF sections (this address is within the .bss section) - but the page IS present as far as I can tell.

I suspect I'm just being dim, but I don't know where to proceed from here?

Perhaps I'm being silly, but your qemu screenshot shows all your page mappings at non-canonical addresses. That doesn't seem right.

Yeah, I'm not sure what's up with that. The four leading 0s in each address should be Fs (the kernel is mapped at 0xffffffff80000000 + physical address), and other stuff works at these correct addresses, so I assume it's something wrong with the qemu monitor. Is it worth looking into?
