A small review of the BSS area. I hope you find the changes acceptable - the changes proposed here should improve the narrative flow, as well as provide a slightly clearer explanation as to what the x86 code is doing (for those less familiar with native x86 instructions).
Kernel booting process
This chapter describes linux kernel booting process. You will see here a couple of posts which describes full cycle of the kernel loading:
- From the bootloader to kernel - describes all stages from turning on the computer before the first instruction of the kernel;
- First steps in the kernel setup code - describes first steps in the kernel setup code. You will see heap initialization, querying of different parameters like EDD, IST and etc...
- Video mode initialization and transition to protected mode - describes video mode initialization in the kernel setup code and transition to protected mode.
- Transition to 64-bit mode - describes preparation for transition into 64-bit mode and transition into it.
- Kernel Decompression - describes preparation before kernel decompression and directly decompression.
