Understanding assembly in linux kernel

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
I am reading linux kernel code (i386/kernel/entry.S) it contains few
assembly instruction like:

.section __ex_table,"a"
	.align 4
	.long 1b,syscall_fault
.previous
.section .fixup,"ax"
.section .rodata,"a"
.pushsection
.popsection
etc ....

How to understand these assembly statements. Please provide me some
pointers to it.

Thanks,
nandac
