✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about idt_setup_early_traps(9). Officially it's: Initialize the idt table with early traps. That's the whole vibe. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void idt_setup_early_traps (void );

No cap, that's the exact signature — spaces and all. 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• void — no arguments. literally none. It takes nothing, bestie. ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

On X8664, these traps do not use interrupt stacks, because they can't work before cpu_init is invoked and sets up TSS. The IST variants are installed after that. That's the tea. 🍓
