.Dt BIOSCALL 9 i386
|
||||
.Os NetBSD
|
||||
.Sh NAME
|
||||
.Nm bioscall
|
||||
.Nd call system BIOS function from real mode
|
||||
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
||||
.Fd #include <i386/bioscall.h>
|
||||
.Ft void
|
||||
.Fn bioscall "int function" "struct bioscallregs *regs"
|
||||
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
function switches the processor into real mode, calls the BIOS interrupt
|
||||
numbered
|
||||
.Fa function ,
|
||||
and returns to protected mode.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
This function is intended to be called during the initial system
|
||||
bootstrap when necessary to probe devices or pseudo-devices.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The register values specified by
|
||||
.Fa *regs
|
||||
(with one exception) are installed before the BIOS interrupt is called.
|
||||
The processor flags are handled specially. Only the following flags are
|
||||
passed to the
|
||||
BIOS from the registers in
|
||||
.Fa regs
|
||||
(the remainder come from the processor's flags register at the time
|
||||
of the call):
|
||||
.Ar PSL_C ,
|
||||
.Ar PSL_PF ,
|
||||
.Ar PSL_AF ,
|
||||
.Ar PSL_Z ,
|
||||
.Ar PSL_N ,
|
||||
.Ar PSL_D ,
|
||||
.Ar PSL_V .
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Va bioscallregs
|
||||
structure is defined to contain structures for each register, to allow
|
||||
access to 32-, 16- or 8-bit wide sections of the registers.
|
||||
Definitions are provided which simplify access to the union members.
|
||||
.Sh RETURN VALUE
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
fills in
|
||||
.Fa *regs
|
||||
with the processor registers as returned from the BIOS call.
|
||||
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
||||
The Advanced Power Management driver calls
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
by setting up a register structure with the APM installation check and
|
||||
device types in registers
|
||||
.Fa ax
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Fa bx ,
|
||||
then calls the BIOS to fetch the details for calling the APM support
|
||||
through a protected-mode interface. The BIOS returns these details in
|
||||
the registers:
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Bd -literal
|
||||
#include <i386/bioscall.h>
|
||||
#include <i386/apmvar.h>
|
||||
struct bioscallregs regs;
|
||||
|
||||
regs.AX = APM_BIOS_FN(APM_INSTALLATION_CHECK);
|
||||
regs.BX = APM_DEV_APM_BIOS;
|
||||
regs.CX = regs.DX = 0;
|
||||
regs.ESI = regs.EDI = regs.EFLAGS = 0;
|
||||
bioscall(APM_SYSTEM_BIOS, ®s);

.Sh HISTORY
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
first appeared in NetBSD-1.3.
|
||||
.Sh BUGS
|
||||
Not all BIOS functions are safe to call through the trampoline, as they
|
||||
may depend on system state which has been disturbed or used for other
|
||||
purposes once the
|
||||
.Nx
|
||||
kernel is running.
