@ -446,7 +446,7 @@ Ok now we have correct segment registers, stack, need only setup bss and jump to
rep; stosl
```
First of all we put [__bss_start](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/x86/boot/setup.ld#L47) address in `di` and `_end + 3` (+3 - align to 4 bytes) in `cx`. Clear `eax` register with `xor` instruction and calculate size of BSS section (put in `cx`). Devide `cx` by 4 and repeat `cx` times `stosl` instruction which stores value of `eax` (it is zero) and increase `di`by the size of `eax`. In this way, we write zeros from `__bss_start` to `_end`:
