Now that we're in Protected Mode, the various registers need to be initialized for the new context - most of these can't even be accessed while in Real Mode!
Demo/Exec/Init.inc
; ; Exec/Init.inc ; ; This finalises the initialisation of the CPU now that we're in Protected Mode. ; The Segment registers are loaded with PM-friendly values, and other registers ; are set up as needed. ; ; This is also the time to initialise the global Data area - at least, that part ; that wasn't set up by Boot. There was no real need to store the data in the ; Boot image - most of it is run-time generated anyway. ; ; And since this is a multi-tasking system that uses TSSs, the Task Register ; needs to be set up, to store the current context before switching to the new ; one. That means allocating a TSS, and initialising it with sensible values. Exec.Init: ; Initialise EFlags PUSH DWORD x86.EFlags.1 POPFD ; Point to global Data MOV AX,Selector(GDT.Data, GDT, RPL0) MOV DS,AX ; Try to keep this here ; Point to Screen MOV AX,Selector(GDT.VGA, GDT, RPL0) MOV ES,AX ; This will be used for lots MOV FS,AX ; Try to keep this here ; Point to GDT. (With GS! How apt!) MOV AX,Selector(GDT.Alias, GDT, RPL0) MOV GS,AX ; Try to keep this here MOV DWORD [Data.RAM],Demo.First MOV BYTE [Data.Key.Shifts],0 ; Now allocate Exec's TSS. Use Exec's LDT! MOV AX,Selector(GDT.Exec.LDT, GDT, RPL0) CALL Exec.Alloc.TSS ; Assume this will work! MOV AH,0 ; Not a System TSS CALL Exec.Alloc.TSS.Enable ; Now any Task Switch will let Exec resume later LTR BX RET
