Hello everybody,
My assembler is not that good so who can explain me how the pagingtables are initialized?
I know $007 is Present,Read/Write and User/System but where do the tables point to?
/*
* Initialize page tables
*/
movl $pg0-__PAGE_OFFSET,%edi /* initialize page tables */
movl $007,%eax /* "007" doesn't mean with right to kill, but PRESENT+RW+USER */
2: stosl
add $0x1000,%eax
cmp $empty_zero_page-__PAGE_OFFSET,%edi
jne 2b
