m (fixed reference to TSS Descriptor in Intel SDM)
 
Line 160:
For a '''[[Task State Segment]]''' or '''[[Local Descriptor Table]]''' in '''[[Long Mode]]''', the format of a '''Segment Descriptor''' differs to ensure that the '''Base''' value can contain a 64-bit '''[[Linear Address]]'''. It takes up the space in the table of two usual entries, in a little endian format, such that the lower half of this entry precedes the higher half in the table.
 
For more information, see '''Section 78.2.3: TSS Descriptor in 64-bit Mode''' and '''Figure 78-4: Format of TSS and LDT Descriptors in 64-bit Mode''' of the Intel Software Developer Manual, Volume 3-A.
