Hello,
Take a look at (for i386): arch/i386/kernel/entry.S
Then find a line like: ENTRY(system_call)
That gets set in the IDT in: arch/i386/kernel/traps.c, near the end of
function trap_init()
Specifically: set_system_gate(SYSCALL_VECTOR, &systen_call), where
SYSCALL_VECTOR is defined to be 0x80
And: include/asm-i386/desc.h has some items that may be of interest to you.
Good luck,
Joshua Roys
