Hi,

I was looking at bootsect.S in the Linux sources to understand how
the boot process works and noticed the "ljmp" instruction but I can
find no documentation on it either in the Intel docs or the gas docs.
Does anyone know what it does, and more generally, is there
some documentation on the full set of x86 opcode mnemonics supported
by gas ? I'm a novice at the x86 instruction set ...

Thanks.

Ram
