4. linux/arch/i386/boot/setup.S
setup.S is responsible for getting the system data from the BIOS and putting them into appropriate places in system memory.
Other boot loaders, like GNU GRUB and LILO, can load bzImage too. Such boot loaders should load bzImage into memory and setup "real-mode kernel header", esp. type_of_loader, then pass control to bsetup directly. setup.S assumes:
bsetup or setup may not be loaded at SETUPSEG:0, i.e. CS may not be equal to SETUPSEG when control is passed to setup.S;
The first 4 sectors of setup are loaded right after bootsect. The reset may be loaded at SYSSEG:0, preceding vmlinux; This assumption does not apply to bsetup.
4.1. Header
/* Signature words to ensure LILO loaded us right */
#define SIG1 0xAA55

SETUPSEG = DEF_SETUPSEG # 0x9020, this is the current segment
# ... and the former contents of CS
DELTA_INITSEG = SETUPSEG - INITSEG # 0x0020

4.2. Check Code Integrity
As setup code may not be contiguous, we should check code integrity first.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
trampoline()
{
start_of_setup(); // never return
.space 1024;
}
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// check signature to see if all code loaded
start_of_setup()
{
// Bootlin depends on this being done early, check bootlin:technic.doc
int13/AH=15h(AL=0, DL=0x81);
// int13/AH=15h: DISK - GET DISK TYPE
#ifdef SAFE_RESET_DISK_CONTROLLER
int13/AH=0(AL=0, DL=0x80);
// int13/AH=00h: DISK - RESET DISK SYSTEM
#endif
DS = CS;
// check signature at end of setup
if (setup_sig1!=SIG1 || setup_sig2!=SIG2) {
goto bad_sig;
}
goto goodsig1;
}
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// some small functions
prtstr(); /* print asciiz string at DS:SI */
prtsp2(); /* print double space */
prtspc(); /* print single space */
prtchr(); /* print ascii in AL */
beep(); /* print CTRL-G, i.e. beep */ |
If signature is not found, the rest setup code may precede vmlinux at SYSSEG:0.
no_sig_mess: .string "No setup signature found ..."
goodsig1:
goto goodsig; // make near jump
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// move the rest setup code from SYSSEG:0 to CS:0800
bad_sig()
DELTA_INITSEG = 0x0020 (= SETUPSEG - INITSEG)
SYSSEG = 0x1000
word start_sys_seg = SYSSEG; // defined in setup header
{
DS = CS - DELTA_INITSEG; // aka INITSEG
BX = (byte)(DS:[497]); // i.e. setup_sects
// first 4 sectors already loaded
CX = (BX - 4) << 8; // rest code in word (2-bytes)
start_sys_seg = (CX >> 3) + SYSSEG; // real system code start
move SYSSEG:0 to CS:0800 (CX*2 bytes);
if (setup_sig1!=SIG1 || setup_sig2!=SIG2) {
no_sig:
prtstr("No setup signature found ...");
no_sig_loop:
hlt;
goto no_sig_loop;
}
} |
The setup code has been moved to correct place. Variable start_sys_seg points to where real system code starts. If "bad_sig" does not happen, start_sys_seg remains SYSSEG.
4.3. Check Loader Type
Check if the loader is compatible with the image.

// Nope, old loader tries to load big-kernel
prtstr("Wrong loader, giving up...");
goto no_sig_loop; // defined above in bad_sig()
}
}
loader_panic_mess: .string "Wrong loader, giving up..." |
4.4. Get Memory Size
Try three different memory detection schemes to get the extended memory size (above 1M) in KB.
First, try e820h, which lets us assemble a memory map; then try e801h, which returns a 32-bit memory size; and finally 88h, which returns 0-64M.

4.9. Switch to Protected Mode
To ensure code compatibility with all 32-bit IA-32 processors, perform the following steps to switch to protected mode:
Prepare GDT with a null descriptor in the first GDT entry, one code segment descriptor and one data segment descriptor;
Disable interrupts, including maskable hardware interrupts and NMI;
Load the base address and limit of the GDT to GDTR register, using "lgdt" instruction;
Set PE flag in CR0 register, using "mov cr0" (Intel 386 and up) or "lmsw" instruction (for compatibility with Intel 286);
Immediately execute a far "jmp" or a far "call" instruction.
a20_done:
{
lidt idt_48; // load idt with 0, 0;
// convert DS:gdt to a linear ptr
*(long*)(gdt_48+2) = DS << 4 + &gdt;

// reset coprocessor
outb(0, 0xF0);
delay();
outb(0, 0xF1);
delay();
// reprogram the interrupts
outb(0xFF, 0xA1); // mask all interrupts
delay();
outb(0xFB, 0x21); // mask all irq's but irq2 which is cascaded
// protected mode!
AX = 1;
lmsw ax; // machine status word, bit 0 thru 15 of CR0
// only affects PE, MP, EM & TS flags

Control is passed to linux/arch/i386/boot/compressed/head.S:startup_32. For zImage, it is at address 0x1000; For bzImage, it is at 0x100000. See Section 5.
ESI points to the memory area of collected system data. It is used to pass parameters from the 16-bit real mode code of the kernel to the 32-bit part. See linux/Documentation/i386/zero-page.txt for details.
For mode switching details, refer to IA-32 Manual Vol.3. (Ch.9.8. Software Initialization for Protected-Mode Operation, Ch.9.9.1. Switching to Protected Mode, and Ch.17.4. Transferring Control Among Mixed-Size Code Segments).
