Changes to the XTIDE Universal BIOS:

  • Bugfix: The stack swapping in BootVars_SwitchBackToPostStack wasn't really an atomic operation anymore (on 186 and 286 CPUs) so I reverted the change I did in the previous revision.
  • A very small size optimization in AH15h_HSize.asm

8; Stores POST stack pointer to BOOTVARS.

10; BootVars_StorePostStackPointer
11; Parameters:
12; DS: BDA and Interrupt Vector segment (zero)
13; Returns:
14; Nothing
15; Corrupts registers:
16; AX
17;--------------------------------------------------------------------
18ALIGN JUMP_ALIGN
19BootVars_StorePostStackPointer:
20 pop ax ; Pop return address
21 mov [BOOTVARS.dwPostStack], sp
22 mov [BOOTVARS.dwPostStack+2], ss
23 jmp ax

26;--------------------------------------------------------------------
27; Initializes stack for boot menu usage.
28; POST stack is not large enough when DPTs are stored to 30:0h.
29;
30; Note regarding LOAD_BDA_SEGMENT_TO: If you force the use of SP
31; then you also have to unconditionally enable the CLI/STI pair.
32; The reason for this is that only some buggy 808x CPU:s need the
33; CLI/STI instruction pair when changing stacks. Other CPU:s disable
34; interrupts automatically when SS is modified for the duration of
35; the immediately following instruction to give time to change SP.
36;
37; BootVars_SwitchToBootMenuStack
38; Parameters:
39; Nothing
40; Returns:
41; SS:SP: Pointer to top of Boot Menu stack
42; Corrupts registers:
43; AX
44;--------------------------------------------------------------------
