Exception handling does not work

Hi everyone, this issue is something i've been struggling to figure out, It's about the ISRs not being called even after setting them and hooking them into the IDT,

I'm in i386 protected mode
This is being run in qemu
My OS is a DOS system, doesn't boot from ISO

The CPU immediately triple faults when encountering a #UD exception. i'll give the full log here

check_exception old: 0x8 new 0xd
The github repo containing all my code is in https://github.com/dabiiXqx/DabiiOS.

I've tried debugging with gdb and my idt pointer struct is correct and functional. the stack is valid and mapped at the time of the ud2 instruction (used for isr testing purposes) the first 32 entries of my idt (0-31) properly contain the address to my isr stubs.

If there's documentation, I'll read it, just give me the source.

Any help is appreciated.

Are you sure?

Code: Select all

IDT=     001f0000 0000a280
IDTR is filled with nonsense. If your IDT pointer struct is correct, there must be a problem with the code you're using to load IDTR.

For example, you might be using a pointer to the struct as the input operand when you actually want the struct itself as the operand, like this:

Code: Select all

	asm volatile("lidt %0" : : "m" (*idtp));

Thank you so much! i didn't know lidt/sidt actually needed the struct itself.
And in the gdb line i was running p/x idtp, so i was talking about the struct's limit and base itself. not about the LIDT or SIDT instruction.
about me saying "it's functional" , that was bad wording, my fault
But either way thank you!
