```
The `early_recursion_flag` locates in the same assembly file as the `early_idt_handler_common` symbol like the following:
```assembly
early_recursion_flag:
.long 0
```
Next we save general registers on the stack:
```assembly

`__PAGE_OFFSET` is defined in the [arch/x86/include/asm/page_64_types.h](https://www.notion.so/lance1994/IDT-Interrupt-Descriptor-Table-2a2e5714fbf44b2f8dc3cf962a1a13e6#60c1ca54af4042b292921f1640f8c893) header file, and you can note that the `UL` tells the compiler that they are not of type int, but unsigned long.
```C
#define __PAGE_OFFSET _AC(0xffff880000000000, UL)
```
And the `_AC` macro is defined in the [include/uapi/linux/const.h](https://www.notion.so/lance1994/IDT-Interrupt-Descriptor-Table-2a2e5714fbf44b2f8dc3cf962a1a13e6#5e0b21a1a3394a7bbb526897708dc5a4) header file:
```C
/* Some constant macros are used in both assembler and
* C code. Therefore we cannot annotate them always with
* 'UL' and other type specifiers unilaterally. We
* use the following macros to deal with this.
*
* Similarly, _AT() will cast an expression with a type in C, but
* leave it unchanged in asm.
*/
#ifdef __ASSEMBLY__
#define _AC(X,Y) X
#else
#define __AC(X,Y) (X##Y)
#define _AC(X,Y) __AC(X,Y)
#endif
```
So, where `__PAGE_OFFSET` expands to `0xffff880000000000`.
We initialize `pmd` and pass it to the `__early_make_pgtable` function along with `address`. The `__early_make_pgtable` function is defined in the same file as the `early_make_pgtable` function as the following:
```C
