1.1.2 Part II -- Systems Programming 系统编程 This part presents those aspects of the architecture that are customarily used by programmers who write operating systems, device drivers, debuggers, and other software that supports applications programs in…

Chapter 9 Exceptions and Interrupts 第9章 异常和中断 Interrupts and exceptions are special kinds of control transfer; they work somewhat like unprogrammed CALLs. They alter the normal program flow to handle external events or to report errors or exceptional…

Intel 80386 Reference Programmer's Manual 80386程序员参考手册 Chapter 1 -- Introduction to the 80386 第1章 - 80386的介绍 The 80386 is an advanced 32-bit microprocessor optimized for multitasking operating systems and designed for applications needing very high p…

10.2 Software Initialization for Real-Address Mode   实地址模式的软件初始化 In real-address mode a few structures must be initialized before a program can take advantage of all the features available in this mode. 在实地址模式,程序在能利用这个模式下的的所有可用特性之前,新架构必须被初始化. 10.2.1…

8.2 I/O Instructions I/O指令 The I/O instructions of the 80386 provide access to the processor's I/O ports for the transfer of data to and from peripheral devices. These instructions have as one operand the address of a port in the I/O address space. T…

6.3.4 Gate Descriptors Guard Procedure Entry Points 门描述符守卫程序入口 To provide protection for control transfers among executable segments at different privilege levels, the 80386 uses gate descriptors. There are four kinds of gate descriptors: 为了在不同特权级别的可…

2.1 Memory Organization and Segmentation 内存组织和分段 The physical memory of an 80386 system is organized as a sequence of 8-bit bytes. Each byte is assigned a unique address that ranges from zero to a maximum of 2^(32) -1 (4 gigabytes). 80386系统的物理内存被看做8位…

7.5 Task Switching 任务切换 The 80386 switches execution to another task in any of four cases: 80386在以下四种情况下会切换另一个任务去执行: The current task executes a JMP or CALL that refers to a TSS descriptor. 当前任务执行了一个引用了TSS描述符的JMP或CALL. The current task executes a JMP…

6.3.2 Restricting Access to Data  数据访问的约束 To address operands in memory, an 80386 program must load the selector of a data segment into a data-segment register (DS, ES, FS, GS, SS). The processor automatically evaluates access to a data segment by co…

2.6 Interrupts and Exceptions 中断和异常 The 80386 has two mechanisms for interrupting program execution: 80386对中断处理执行有两个机制: Exceptions are synchronous events that are the responses of the CPU to certain conditions detected during the execution of an inst…
