This can lead to 3 different scenarios:
* `ss` has a valid value `0x1000` (as do all the other segment registers beside `cs`)
* `ss` has a valid value `0x10000` (as do all the other segment registers beside `cs`)
* `ss` is invalid and the `CAN_USE_HEAP` flag is set (see below)
* `ss` is invalid and the `CAN_USE_HEAP` flag is not set (see below)
Let's look at all three of these scenarios in turn:
* `ss` has a correct address (`0x1000`). In this case, we go to label [2](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/16f73eb02d7e1765ccab3d2018e0bd98eb93d973/arch/x86/boot/header.S#L584):

Here we set the alignment of `dx` (which contains the value of `sp` as given by the bootloader) to `4` bytes and a check for whether or not it is zero. If it is zero, we put `0xfffc` (4 byte aligned address before the maximum segment size of 64 KB) in `dx`. If it is not zero, we continue to use the value of `sp` given by the bootloader (0xf7f4 in my case). After this, we put the value of `ax` into `ss`, which stores the correct segment address of `0x1000` and sets up a correct `sp`. We now have a correct stack:
