-;; [NOTE] Volatile registers Linux (syscalls) vs UEFI
+;; At compile-time we load the module given by the environment variable
+;; OS_INCLUDE. All of the following these procedures should preserve the value
+;; of RSI and RSP. They may use other registers as they like.
;;
-;; Linux syscalls: RAX, RCX, R11
-;; UEFI: RAX, RCX, R11, RDX, R8, R9, R10
-
-;; We are in the process of replacing our dependency on Linux with a dependency
-;; on UEFI. The following macros attempt to isolate what would be syscalls in
-;; Linux; thus, we will be able to replace these with UEFI-based implementations,
-;; and in theory we should expect the program to work.
-
-;; Print a string of a given length.
+;; The module should provide the following:
;;
-;; Input:
-;; - RCX = Pointer to buffer
-;; - RDX = Buffer length
+;; os_code_section
+;; Macro to start the text segment.
;;
-;; Clobbers: RAX, RCX, R11, RDI, RSI
-macro sys_print_string {
- mov rax, 1
- mov rdi, 1
- mov rsi, rcx
- syscall
-}
-
-;; Read a character from the user into the given buffer.
+;; os_data_section
+;; Macro to start the data segment.
;;
-;; Input:
-;; - RSI = Character buffer
+;; os_initialize
+;; Called at initialization.
;;
-;; Output:
-;; - BYTE [RSI] = Character
+;; os_print_string
+;; Takes a string buffer in RCX and the length in RDX, and prints the string
+;; to the console.
;;
-;; Clobbers: RAX, RCX, R11, RDI, RSI, RDX
