KernOS Documentation

How to use

The source code is written with the aim that it can be read like a book. Start from kernel_main

extern "C" void kernel_main()
{
    INIT::ctors();   // initialize global constructors
    INIT::VGA();     // display kernel banner
    INIT::KMALLOC(); // initialize kernel malloc, i.e. kmalloc use supported after this point
    INIT::SSE();     // enable SSE instruction set
    INIT::gdt();     // prepare global descriptor table for x86 protected mode
    INIT::idt();     // install exceptions, interrupts, e.g. page fault handler for paging use later
    INIT::PAGE();    // initialize page directory, page table
    INIT::PIT();     // initialize timer

    sti();           // enable interrupt

    kprintf("reach");
}
