Setting Up Interrupts - Amateur OS Dev (in C)
72Adding basic interrupt support including: the IDT, default ISRs for exceptions and software interrupts,
a system call handler for software interrupt 0x80, and PIC setup & remapping for hardware interrupts.

Notes:
- The intel x86 manuals say exceptions 22-31 are reserved and not to use them. So the code for initializing the IDT should change to only set exception ISRs 0-21, just in case. Also, since the PIC is remapped to use interrupts 0x20-0x2F, setting the regular interrupts could probably be done with entry number starting at 0x30 (48).
- I thought that sizeof wasn't working before, but I probably misread error messages or didn't understand what it does. It could lead to easy refactors now at least, for less hardcoding in parts.
- OBS recording firefox and scrolling on pdfs and some webpages has a lot of artifacting, sorry about that. Probably due to monitor 1 being 144fps and the other monitor with obs and video recording at 60fps. Maybe, idk. Only happens when recording these. Do not adjust your set! That is normal on the video.
- div/idiv instructions, in 32bit mode, can only ever be 2 bytes: F6 /6 & F7 /6 for div, and F6 /7 & F7 /7 for idiv. So in the divide by 0 handler, it could be eip += 2 to skip the whole div/idiv instruction. That works, at least for the calculator, and is probably a better way to handle it.
- The PIT is the programmable _Interval_ timer, not _Interrupt_ timer, my bad. PIC and PIT names are easy to confuse.
- My voice was a bit shot for the later parts, for the PIC and after, sorry about that. I need to stock up on some werther's originals or something.
Next video ideas:
It'll probably be over automating the build process (no more manually updating file sizes! ...until the filetable/system changes later e.g. directory support), and a couple PIC interrupt handlers for timer ticks, keyboard, or Real Time Clock/RTC. But I might research virtual memory management & paging
(for 32bit protected mode), a malloc() or other syscall, or other things.
