RDMSR & inline assembler Visual Studio C++

[nonosto]

Hello world

This is a piece of code use RDMSR from GCC inline assembler:

Code Select Expand

__asm__ __volatile__ ("rdmsr"
                        :"=a"(low), "=d"(high)
                        :"c"(msr));

I need to translate it to Visual C++ inline assembler, and I try it:

Code Select Expand

__asm
{
rdmsr
eax, low;
edx, high;
ecx, msr;
}

But I have this log:

Code Select Expand

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Warning C4405 'eax': identifier is reserved word
Error C2400 inline assembler syntax error in 'opcode'; found ','
Warning C4405 'edx': identifier is reserved word
Error C2400 inline assembler syntax error in 'opcode'; found ','
Warning C4405 'ecx': identifier is reserved word
Error C2400 inline assembler syntax error in 'opcode'; found ','


I am newbie and I need help. Could you helpme please?

You can't run RDMSR in user mode. It is a privileged instruction.
Given this, I don't need to tell you that eax, low is not an ASM instruction. May be you are thinking about mov eax, low.

thanks very much

You can't run RDMSR in user mode. It is a privileged instruction.

I saw somewhere it, this instruction must be executed at a privilege level of 0, or in kernel mode. How to use so in this context?

If i understand, in GCC:

Code Select Expand

"=a"(low)

it's in VSC++ illine:

Code Select Expand

mov eax, low

Write a driver, and it will work. Why do you need RDMSR?

I need patch kernel

[Adamanteus]

That's possible by such way :

Code (asm) Select Expand


RDMSR EAX ; maybe AX - as it not go to opcode could be differ
MOV EAX, CR0 ; alternative for kernel

Thanks all

After your help I found this:

https://books.google.fr/books?id=5Cs46M9FV0sC&lpg=PA284&ots=pXHGJxvfIs&dq=RDMSR%20EAX%20%3B&hl=fr&pg=PA284#v=onepage&q=RDMSR%20EAX%20;&f=true

[nonosto]

So I try this code:

Code Select Expand

__int64 rdmsr(__int32 msr, __int32* pHigh, __int32* pLow)
{
__int32 low, high;
__asm
{
mov msr, ecx;
rdmsr;
mov eax, low;
mov edx, high;
}
}

But I have this error:

Code Select Expand


Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error C2400 inline assembler syntax error in 'second operand'; found 'newline' TEST_ASM
Error C2400 inline assembler syntax error in 'second operand'; found 'newline' TEST_ASM

Why the hell do you need to patch a 32 bit kernel ?

Answer this or the post will be removed and do not try and feed us bullsh*t.

I try to translate an application write on GCC inline to visual C++ 2003 for an old app (windows 2000).

It is a real pain to see what you are trying to do.
You should use the __readmsr intrinsics and forget about ASM for the time being.

[nonosto]

intrinsic not support by VC 2003

[aw27]

All right, if you are looking to run it on Windows 2000 your options are diminished.
But if you have the Platform Toolset Visual Studio 2008 (v90) you can build it even on VS 2017.

[nonosto]

Unlike I must use VS2003 only....it's a very specific hardware.
I dont see my error how to fix it please?

[aw27]

There are many errors, but the immediate ones are that "low" and "high" are keywords.
