setup.s文件中关于8259中断寄存器

在linux1.0中的目录boot/setup.S中有一段初始化8259中断控制器的代码，代码如下：

! well, that went ok, I hope. Now we have to reprogram the interrupts :-(

! we put them right after the intel-reserved hardware interrupts, at

! int 0x20-0x 2F . There they won't mess up anything. Sadly IBM really

! messed this up with the original PC, and they haven't been able to

! rectify it afterwards. Thus the bios puts interrupts at 0x08-0x 0f ,

! which is used for the internal hardware interrupts as well. We just

! have to reprogram the 8259's, and it isn't fun.

需要说明的是主 8259A 的地址为0x20和0x21，从 8259A 的地址为0xa0和0xa1，只要向某一个 8259A 的第一个端口（0x20，0xa0)写入的命令的bit4为1，那么这个 8259A 就认为这是一个ICW1。OCW在初始化之后可以使用。

8259A 的初始化流程协议如下：

 

对于X86，bit0必须被设置成1。

      

注：在linux1.0中汇编语言还是用的intel格式：

端口操作指令：out  地址  值         in     

       mov al,#0x11         ! initialization sequence， ICW1=0x11

       out   #0x20,al         ! send it to 8259A -1       ，将0x11写入0x20，也就是写入主中断控制器

       call  delay

       out   #0xA0,al         ! and to 8259A -2，将0x11写入a0，也就是写入从中断控制器

       call  delay

       mov al,#0x20         ! start of hardware int's (0x20)，ICW2=020,中断向量的起始地址为0x20

       out   #0x21,al         !送主控制器，要送奇地址

       call  delay

       mov al,#0x28  !start of hardware int's 2 (0x28)，从控制器的中断向量的起始地址为0X28

       out   #0xA1,al     ！送从控制器

       call  delay

       mov al,#0x04         ! 8259-1 is master ，从 8259A 被挂在主 8259A 的IRQ2上

       out   #0x21,al     ！

       call  delay

       mov al,#0x02         ! 8259-2 is slave，对于从8259来说ICW3=0x02,

       out   #0xA1,al    ！送从控制器

       call  delay

       mov al,#0x01         ! 8086 mode for both，ICW4=0x01

       out   #0x21,al

       call  delay

       out   #0xA1,al

       call  delay

       mov al,#0xFF         ! mask off all interrupts for now,

       out   #0xA1,al

       call  delay

       mov al,#0xFB         ! mask all irq's but irq2 which

       out   #0x21,al         ! is cascaded

 

 

而在linux 2.6.12 中arch/i386/boot/setup.S中，在确保所有的协处理器都被重启之后，在第800行来了一句# well, that went ok, I hope. Now we mask all interrupts - the rest is done in init_IRQ().

       movb      $0xFF, %al                   # mask all interrupts for now

       outb %al, $0xA1

       call  delay

      

       movb      $0xFB, %al                   # mask all irq's but irq2 which

       outb %al, $0x21                   # is cascaded

 

       也就是说中断可控制器的编程应该在init_IRQ()这个函数中。这个函数的位置在：
