- interrupts
- Enabling and disabling interrupts
- port
- Access to I/O ports

- tables
- Functions to load GDT, IDT, and TSS structures.

Functions§
- bochs_
breakpoint - Emits a ‘magic breakpoint’ instruction for the Bochs CPU emulator.
- hlt
- Halts the CPU until the next interrupt arrives.
- nop
- Executes the
nopinstructions, which performs no operation (i.e. does nothing). - read_
rip - Gets the current instruction pointer. Note that this is only approximate as it requires a few instructions to execute.
