; !!! GDT !!!
; This will set up our new segment registers. We need to do
; something special in order to set CS. We do what is called a
; far jump. A jump that includes a segment as well as an offset.
; This is declared in C as 'extern void gdt_flush();'
global _i86_gdt_flush ; Allows the C code to link to this
extern _gp ; Says that '_gp' is in another file
_i86_gdt_flush:
lgdt [_gp] ; Load the GDT with our '_gp' which is a special pointer
mov ax, 0x10 ; 0x10 is the offset in the GDT to our data segment
mov ds, ax
mov es, ax
mov fs, ax
mov gs, ax
mov ss, ax
jmp 0x08:flush2 ; 0x08 is the offset to our code segment: Far jump!
flush2:
ret ; Returns back to the C code!
