This folder contains the source for OS/K's early loader.
OS/K being intended to only run on x86-64 systems, we have not divided
this folder into one sub-folder per architecture.
The bootloader itself is external to the OS/K project. We are using GRUB 2 to
load our kernel loader in memory.
The kernel loader, that we call the loader, is the main subject of this folder.
This loader is linked whith the kernel and loaded by Grub at the specified
address and prepare it for the hard work it have to do :
- Check the multiboot state
- Check if CPUID and long mode is supported
- Send a structure for it with memory map, cpu infos, and other devices
infos, prepared by GRUB.
- Switch into long mode
