Modules

Here is a list of all modules:

[detail level 12]

▼Descriptor Tables	GDT, IDT and TSS are all data structures specified by Intel x86 architecture in memory management module
Task State Segment (TSS)	Is a special structure on x86-based computers which holds information about a task. It is used by the operating system kernel for task management
Global Descriptor Table (GDT)	Is used to define the characteristics of the various memory areas used during program execution, including the base address, the size and access privileges like executability and writability
Interrupt Descriptor Table (IDT)	Is a data structure used by the x86 architecture to implement an interrupt vector table. The IDT is used by the processor to determine the correct response to interrupts and exceptions
Interrupt Service Routines (ISRs)	Are software routines that hardware invokes in response to an interrupt
Program Header Segment Types	List of numeric defines which identify segment entries types
Interrupt Requests (IRQs).	This is the list of interrupt requests
▼The Get Free Pages (GFP) flags	Sets of GFP defines
Bitmasks	Plain integer GFP bitmasks. Do not use this directly
Zone Modifiers	Physical address zone modifiers (see linux/mmzone.h - low four bits)
Watermark Modifiers	Controls access to emergency reserves
Reclaim Modifiers	Enable reclaim operations on a specific region of memory
Flag Combinations	Useful GFP flag combinations
Wait Queue Flags
Flags associated with a sigaction.
Bootloader	Set of functions and variables for booting the kernel
PS/2 I/O Ports
PS/2 Controller Commands
PS/2 Device (Keyboard) Commands
PS/2 Device Responses
PS/2 Status Register Flags
Programmable Interval Timer Registers	The list of registers used to set the PIT
File Types Macros	These constants allow to identify file types
File Type Test Macros	These macros allows to easily identify file types
Mode Bits for Access Permission	These constants allow to control access permission for files
▼Hardware Interfaces	Data structures and functions for managing hardware devices
Floating Point Unit (FPU)	Device designed to carry out operations on floating-point numbers
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI)	Routines for interfacing with the peripherals
▼Device Drivers	Routines for interfacing with peripheral devices
Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA)	Drivers for the Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) devices
Floppy Disc Controller (FDC)	Routines for interfacing with the floppy disc controller
Keyboard	Drivers for the Keyboard devices
Mouse	Routines for interfacing with the mouse
Real Time Clock (RTC)	Routines for interfacing with the real-time clock
