I got this, it looks good when I'm single-stepping through it with gdb
and it boots fine in kvm. I'll run it on baremetal tomorrow:
/*
* Setup stack for verify_cpu(): make sure we don't clobber a valid
* stack pointer by using temporary registers.
*/
movq stack_start(%rip), %rax
movq $__START_KERNEL_map, %rdx
subq %rdx, %rax
movq %rax, %rsp
Thanks.
