I'm trying to boot this 'hello world' kernel as a native elf64 image using Grub2.
It consists of 3 files: boot.S, kernel.c and multiboot.h. The file 'kernel.c' is taken from the sample kernel provided from the Multiboot Specification (http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual ... le-OS-code).
boot.S:
Code: Select all
#include "multiboot.h"
.globl _start
_start:
jmp multiboot_entry
/* Multiboot header. */
.align 4
.long MULTIBOOT_HEADER_MAGIC
.long MULTIBOOT_HEADER_FLAGS
.long -(MULTIBOOT_HEADER_MAGIC + MULTIBOOT_HEADER_FLAGS)
multiboot_entry:
/* set up stack */
movq $(stack + STACK_SIZE), %rsp
call cmain
.comm stack, STACK_SIZE
Code: Select all
/* The magic number for the Multiboot header.*/
#define MULTIBOOT_HEADER_MAGIC 0x1BADB002
/* The flags for the Multiboot header. */
# define MULTIBOOT_HEADER_FLAGS 0x00000000
#define STACK_SIZE 0x8000
Code: Select all
#include "multiboot.h"
/* Some screen stuff. */
/* The number of columns. */
#define COLUMNS 80
/* The number of lines. */
#define LINES 24
/* The attribute of an character. */
#define ATTRIBUTE 7
/* The video memory address. */
#define VIDEO 0xB8000
/* Variables. */
/* Save the X position. */
static int xpos;
/* Save the Y position. */
static int ypos;
/* Point to the video memory. */
static volatile unsigned char *video;
/* Forward declarations. */
void cmain ();
static void cls (void);
static void itoa (char *buf, int base, int d);

void printf (const char *format, ...);
/* Check if MAGIC is valid and print the Multiboot information structure
pointed by ADDR. */
void

}
/* Clear the screen and initialize VIDEO, XPOS and YPOS. */
static void

{

video = (unsigned char *) VIDEO;
for (i = 0; i < COLUMNS * LINES * 2; i++)
*(video + i) = 0;

}
/* Convert the integer D to a string and save the string in BUF. If
BASE is equal to 'd', interpret that D is decimal, and if BASE is
equal to 'x', interpret that D is hexadecimal. */
static void

divisor = 16;
/* Divide UD by DIVISOR until UD == 0. */
do
{
int remainder = ud % divisor;
*p++ = (remainder < 10) ? remainder + '0' : remainder + 'a' - 10;
}
while (ud /= divisor);
/* Terminate BUF. */
*p = 0;
/* Reverse BUF. */
p1 = buf;
p2 = p - 1;
while (p1 < p2)
{
char tmp = *p1;
*p1 = *p2;
*p2 = tmp;
p1++;
p2--;
}
}
/* Put the character C on the screen. */

newline:

function printf. */

string:

}Any thoughts/advices/solutions?
