5080668704 Provide access to rm_cs and rm_ds from protected-mode code. 2006-05-13 11:45:31 +00:00

f7b963da51 (Redoing check-in lost by SourceForge's failure.)
Use .text16.data section with "aw" attributes, to avoid section type
conflicts when placing both code and data into .text16.

Add __from_{text16,data16}.

fdb983d473 Preserve the whole of %esp across prot_call(). We have to split this
between the low half stored in the static variable rm_sp, and the high
half stored on the prot_call() stack, because:

  Just using the stack would screw up when a prot_call()ed routine
  executes a real_call(); it would have no way to find the current top of
  the RM stack.

  Extending rm_sp to rm_esp would not be safe, because the guarantee that
  rm_sp must return to the correct value by the time an external
  real-mode call returns applies only to %sp, not to %esp.

832807726a Add infrastructure to support access to .data16 (and .text16) variables
from protected-mode code.

Set up %ds to point to .data16 in prot_to_real, so that code specified
via REAL_EXEC() and friends can access variables in .data16.

Move most real-mode librm variables from .text16 to .data16.

10c28a51bd Create two easy-to-use entry points in libprefix: install and
install_prealloc.  I *think* these will suffice for all the 16-bit
prefixes.

9fcded3d23 Towards a(nother) new real-mode infrastructure, in which we take
advantage of the fact that we have to have a permanently-resident block
in base memory.

4c4e4de18f (librm_base-1b) is already an offset; no need to apply OFFSET().
Doing so, in fact, seems to expose an assembler bug; (a-b-0) is
apparently not the same as (a-b).  Go figure.

2fa14f2f1d lgdt needs data32 prefix, otherwise it loads only 24 bits. (sgdt
always saves 32 bits).
