\chapter{The GO32 unit}
This chapter of the documentation describe the GO32 unit for the Free Pascal
compiler under \dos. It was donated by Thomas Schatzl
(tom\_at\_work@geocities.com), for which my thanks.
This unit was first written for \dos by Florian Kl"ampfl.
This chapter is divided in four sections. The first two sections are an
introduction to the GO32 unit. The third section lists the pre-defined
constants, types and variables. The last section describes the functions
which appear in the interface part of the GO32 unit.
\section{Introduction}
These docs contain information about the GO32 unit. Only the GO32V2 DPMI
mode is discussed by me here due to the fact that new applications shouldn't
be created with the older GO32V1 model. The go32v2 version is much more advanced and
better. Additionally a lot of functions only work in DPMI mode anyway.
I hope the following explanations and introductions aren't too confusing at
all. If you notice an error or bug send it to the FPC mailing list or
directly to me.
So let's get started and happy and error free coding I wish you....

\section{Protected mode memory organization}
\subsection{What is DPMI}
The \dos Protected Mode Interface helps you with various aspects of protected
mode programming. These are roughly divided into descriptor handling, access
to \dos memory, management of interrupts and exceptions, calls to real mode
functions and other stuff. Additionally it automatically provides swapping
to disk for memory intensive applications.
A DPMI host (either a Windows \dos box or CWSDPMI.EXE) provides these
functions for your programs.
\subsection{Selectors and descriptors}
Descriptors are a bit like real mode segments; they describe (as the name
implies) a memory area in protected mode. A descriptor contains information
about segment length, its base address and the attributes of it (i.e. type,
access rights, ...).
These descriptors are stored internally in a so-called descriptor table,
which is basically an array of such descriptors.
Selectors are roughly an index into this table.
Because these 'segments' can be up to 4 GB in size, 32 bits aren't
sufficient anymore to describe a single memory location like in real mode.
48 bits are now needed to do this, a 32 bit address and a 16 bit sized
selector. The GO32 unit provides the tseginfo record to store such a
pointer.
But due to the fact that most of the time data is stored and accessed in the
\%ds selector, FPC assumes that all pointers point to a memory location of
this selector. So a single pointer is still only 32 bits in size. This value
represents the offset from the data segment base address to this memory
location.
\subsection{FPC specialities}
The \%ds and \%es selector MUST always contain the same value or some system
routines may crash when called. The \%fs selector is preloaded with the
DOSMEMSELECTOR variable at startup, and it MUST be restored after use,
because again FPC relys on this for some functions. Luckily we asm
programmers can still use the \%gs selector for our own purposes, but for how
long ?

\subsection{\dos memory access}
\dos memory is accessed by the predefined \var{dosmemselector} selector; 
the GO32 unit additionally provides some functions to help you with standard tasks,
like copying memory from heap to \dos memory and the likes. Because of this
it is strongly recommened to use them, but you are still free to use the
provided standard memory accessing functions which use 48 bit pointers. The
third, but only thought for compatibility purposes, is using the
\var{mem[]}-arrays. These arrays map the whole 1 Mb \dos space. They shouldn't be
used within new programs.
To convert a segment:offset real mode address to a protected mode linear
address you have to multiply the segment by 16 and add its offset. This
linear address can be used in combination with the DOSMEMSELECTOR variable.

\subsection{I/O port access}
The I/O port access is done via the various \seef{inportb}, \seep{outportb}
functions
which are available. Additionally Free Pascal supports the Turbo Pascal
PORT[]-arrays but it is by no means recommened to use them, because they're
only for compatibility purposes.
See also: \seep{outportb}, \seef{inportb}, PORT[]-arrays
\subsection{Processor access}
These are some functions to access various segment registers (\%cs, \%ds, \%ss)
which makes your work a bit easier.

\seefl{get\_ss}{getss} 
\subsection{Interrupt redirection}
Interrupts are program interruption requests, which in one or another way
get to the processor; there's a distinction between software and hardware
interrupts. The former are explicitely called by an 'int' instruction and
are a bit comparable to normal functions. Hardware interrupts come from
external devices like the keyboard or mouse. Functions that handle hardware
interrupts are called handlers.
\subsection{Handling interrupts with DPMI}
The interrupt functions are real-mode procedures; they normally can't be
called in protected mode without the risk of an protection fault. So the
DPMI host creates an interrupt descriptor table for the application.
Initially all software interrupts (except for int 31h, 2Fh and 21h function
4Ch) or external hardware interrupts are simply directed to a handler that
reflects the interrupt in real-mode, i.e. the DPMI host's default handlers
switch the CPU to real-mode, issue the interrupt and switch back to
protected mode. The contents of general registers and flags are passed to
the real mode handler and the modified registers and flags are returned to
the protected mode handler. Segment registers and stack pointer are not
passed between modes.
\subsection{Protected mode interrupts vs. Real mode interrupts}
As mentioned before, there's a distinction between real mode interrupts and
protected mode interrupts; the latter are protected mode programs, while the
former must be real mode programs. To call a protected mode interrupt
handler, an assembly 'int' call must be issued, while the other is called
via the realintr() or intr() function. Consequently, a real mode interrupt
then must either reside in \dos memory (<1MB) or the application must
allocate a real mode callback address via the get\_rm\_callback() function.
\subsection{Creating own interrupt handlers}
Interrupt redirection with FPC pascal is done via the set\_pm\_interrupt() for
protected mode interrupts or via the set\_rm\_interrupt() for real mode
interrupts.
\subsection{Disabling interrupts}
The GO32 unit provides the two procedures disable() and enable() to disable
and enable all interrupts.
\subsection{Hardware interrupts}
Hardware interrupts are generated by hardware devices when something unusual
happens; this could be a keypress or a mouse move or any other action. This
is done to minimize CPU time, else the CPU would have to check all installed
hardware for data in a big loop (this method is called 'polling') and this
would take much time.
A standard IBM-PC has two interrupt controllers, that are responsible for
these hardware interrupts: both allow up to 8 different interrupt sources
(IRQs, interrupt requests). The second controller is connected to the first
through IRQ 2 for compatibility reasons, e.g. if controller 1 gets an IRQ 2,
he hands the IRQ over to controller 2. Because of this up to 15 different
hardware interrupt sources can be handled.
IRQ 0 through IRQ 7 are mapped to interrupts 8h to Fh and the second
controller (IRQ 8 to 15) is mapped to interrupt 70h to 77h.
All of the code and data touched by these handlers MUST be locked (via the
various locking functions) to avoid page faults at interrupt time. Because
hardware interrupts are called (as in real mode) with interrupts disabled,
the handler has to enable them before it returns to normal program
execution. Additionally a hardware interrupt must send an EOI (end of
interrupt) command to the responsible controller; this is acomplished by
sending the value 20h to port 20h (for the first controller) or A0h (for the
second controller).
The following example shows how to redirect the keyboard interrupt.
\latex{\lstinputlisting{go32ex/keyclick.pp}}
\html{\input{go32ex/keyclick.tex}}
\subsection{Software interrupts}
Ordinarily, a handler installed with
\seefl{set\_pm\_interrupt}{setpminterrupt} only services software
interrupts that are executed in protected mode; real mode software
interrupts can be redirected by \seefl{set\_rm\_interrupt}{setrminterrupt}.

Executing software interrupts
Simply execute a realintr() call with the desired interrupt number and the
supplied register data structure.
But some of these interrupts require you to supply them a pointer to a
buffer where they can store data to or obtain data from in memory. These
interrupts are real mode functions and so they only can access the first Mb
of linear address space, not FPC's data segment.
For this reason FPC supplies a pre-initialized \dos memory location within
the GO32 unit. This buffer is internally used for \dos functions too and so
it's contents may change when calling other procedures. It's size can be
obtained with \seefl{tb\_size}{tbsize} and it's linear address via 
\seefl{transfer\_buffer}{transferbuffer}.
Another way is to allocate a completely new \dos memory area via the
\seefl{global\_dos\_alloc}{globaldosalloc} function for your use and 
supply its real mode address.
See also:
\seefl{tb\_size}{tbsize},
\seefl{transfer\_buffer}{transferbuffer}.
\seefl{global\_dos\_alloc}{globaldosalloc},
\seefl{global\_dos\_free}{globaldosfree},
\seef{realintr}
The following examples illustrate the use of software interrupts.

\latex{\lstinputlisting{go32ex/rmpmint.pp}}
\html{\input{go32ex/rmpmint.tex}}
\subsection{Real mode callbacks}
The callback mechanism can be thought of as the converse of calling a real
mode procedure (i.e. interrupt), which allows your program to pass
information to a real mode program, or obtain services from it in a manner
that's transparent to the real mode program.
In order to make a real mode callback available, you must first get the real
mode callback address of your procedure and the selector and offset of a
register data structure. This real mode callback address (this is a
segment:offset address) can be passed to a real mode program via a software
interrupt, a \dos memory block or any other convenient mechanism.
When the real mode program calls the callback (via a far call), the DPMI
host saves the registers contents in the supplied register data structure,
switches into protected mode, and enters the callback routine with the
following settings:
\begin{itemize}
\item interrupts disabled
\item \var{\%CS:\%EIP} = 48 bit pointer specified in the original call to 
\seefl{get\_rm\_callback}{getrmcallback}
\item \var{\%DS:\%ESI} = 48 bit pointer to to real mode \var{SS:SP}
\item \var{\%ES:\%EDI} = 48 bit pointer of real mode register data
structure. 
\item \var{\%SS:\%ESP} = locked protected mode stack
\item  All other registers undefined
\end{itemize}
The callback procedure can then extract its parameters from the real mode
register data structure and/or copy parameters from the real mode stack to
the protected mode stack. Recall that the segment register fields of the
real mode register data structure contain segment or paragraph addresses
that are not valid in protected mode. Far pointers passed in the real mode
register data structure must be translated to virtual addresses before they
can be used with a protected mode program.
The callback procedure exits by executing an IRET with the address of the
real mode register data structure in \var{\%ES:\%EDI}, passing information back to
the real mode caller by modifying the contents of the real mode register
data structure and/or manipulating the contents of the real mode stack. The
callback procedure is responsible for setting the proper address for
resumption of real mode execution into the real mode register data
structure; typically, this is accomplished by extracting the return address
from the real mode stack and placing it into the \var{\%CS:\%EIP} fields of the real
mode register data structure. After the IRET, the DPMI host switches the CPU
back into real mode, loads ALL registers with the contents of the real mode
register data structure, and finally returns control to the real mode
program.
All variables and code touched by the callback procedure MUST be locked to
prevent page faults.

\section{Types, Variables and Constants}
\subsection{Constants}
\subsubsection{Constants returned by get\_run\_mode}
Tells you under what memory environment (e.g. memory manager) the program
currently runs.
\begin{verbatim}
rm_unknown = 0; { unknown }
rm_raw     = 1; { raw (without HIMEM) } 
rm_xms     = 2; { XMS (for example with HIMEM, without EMM386) } 
rm_vcpi    = 3; { VCPI (for example HIMEM and EMM386) } 
rm_dpmi    = 4; { DPMI (for example \dos box or 386Max) }
\end{verbatim}
Note: GO32V2 {\em always} creates DPMI programs, so you need a suitable DPMI
host like \file{CWSDPMI.EXE} or a Windows \dos box. So you don't need to check it,
these constants are only useful in GO32V1 mode.
\subsubsection{Processor flags constants}
They are provided for a simple check with the flags identifier in the
trealregs type. To check a single flag, simply do an AND operation with the
flag you want to check. It's set if the result is the same as the flag
value.
\begin{verbatim}
const carryflag = $001; 
parityflag      = $004; 
auxcarryflag    = $010; 
zeroflag        = $040; 
signflag        = $080; 
trapflag        = $100; 
interruptflag   = $200;
directionflag   = $400; 
overflowflag    = $800;
\end{verbatim}
\subsection{Predefined types}
\begin{verbatim}
type tmeminfo = record
            available_memory : Longint; 
            available_pages : Longint;
            available_lockable_pages : Longint; 
            linear_space : Longint;
            unlocked_pages : Longint; 
            available_physical_pages : Longint;
            total_physical_pages : Longint; 
            free_linear_space : Longint;
            max_pages_in_paging_file : Longint; 
            reserved : array[0..2] of Longint;
   end;
\end{verbatim}
Holds information about the memory allocation, etc.
\begin{FPCtable}{ll}{Record description}
Record entry & Description \\ \hline
\var{available\_memory} & Largest available free block in bytes. \\
\var{available\_pages} & Maximum unlocked page allocation in pages \\
\var{available\_lockable\_pages} &  Maximum locked page allocation in pages. \\
\var{linear\_space} &  Linear address space size in pages. \\
\var{unlocked\_pages} & Total number of unlocked pages. \\
\var{available\_physical\_pages} &  Total number of free pages.\\
\var{total\_physical\_pages} &  Total number of physical pages. \\
\var{free\_linear\_space} & Free linear address space in pages.\\
\var{max\_pages\_in\_paging\_file} &  Size of paging file/partition in
pages. \\
\end{FPCtable}
NOTE: The value of a field is -1 (0ffffffffh) if the value is unknown, it's
only guaranteed, that \var{available\_memory} contains a valid value.
The size of the pages can be determined by the get\_page\_size() function.
\begin{verbatim}
type 
trealregs = record
  case Integer of 
    1: { 32-bit } 
      (EDI, ESI, EBP, Res, EBX, EDX, ECX, EAX: Longint; 
       Flags, ES, DS, FS, GS, IP, CS, SP, SS: Word); 
    2: { 16-bit } 
      (DI, DI2, SI, SI2, BP, BP2, R1, R2: Word;
       BX, BX2, DX, DX2, CX, CX2, AX, AX2: Word);
    3: { 8-bit } 
      (stuff: array[1..4] of Longint;
       BL, BH, BL2, BH2, DL, DH, DL2, DH2, CL,
       CH, CL2, CH2, AL, AH, AL2, AH2: Byte);
    4: { Compat } 
      (RealEDI, RealESI, RealEBP, RealRES, RealEBX, 
       RealEDX, RealECX, RealEAX: Longint; 
       RealFlags, RealES, RealDS, RealFS, RealGS, 
       RealIP, RealCS, RealSP, RealSS: Word);
    end;
    registers = trealregs;
\end{verbatim}
These two types contain the data structure to pass register values to a
interrupt handler or real mode callback.
\begin{verbatim}
type tseginfo = record
             offset : Pointer; segment : Word; end;
\end{verbatim}
This record is used to store a full 48-bit pointer. This may be either a
protected mode selector:offset address or in real mode a segment:offset
address, depending on application.

redirection
\subsection{Variables.}
\begin{verbatim}
var dosmemselector : Word;
\end{verbatim}
Selector to the \dos memory. The whole \dos memory is automatically mapped to
this single descriptor at startup. This selector is the recommened way to
access \dos memory.
\begin{verbatim}
  var int31error : Word;
\end{verbatim}
This variable holds the result of a DPMI interrupt call. Any nonzero value
must be treated as a critical failure.
\section{Functions and Procedures}
\begin{functionl}{allocate\_ldt\_descriptors}{allocateldtdescriptors}
\Declaration
Function allocate\_ldt\_descriptors (count : Word) : Word;

\Description
Allocates a number of new descriptors.
Parameters: 
\begin{description}
\item[count:\ ] specifies the number of requested unique descriptors.
\end{description}
Return value: The base selector.
Notes: The descriptors allocated must be initialized by the application with
other function calls. This function returns descriptors with a limit and
size value set to zero. If more than one descriptor was requested, the
function returns a base selector referencing the first of a contiguous array
of descriptors. The selector values for subsequent descriptors in the array
can be calculated by adding the value returned by the
\seefl{get\_next\_selector\_increment\_value}{getnextselectorincrementvalue} 
function.

\Description
Allocates a block of linear memory.
Parameters: 
\begin{description}
\item[size:\ ] Size of requested linear memory block in bytes.
\end{description}
Returned values: blockhandle - the memory handle to this memory block. Linear
address of the requested memory.
Notes: WARNING: According to my DPMI docs this function is not implemented
correctly. Normally you should also get a blockhandle to this block after
successful operation. This handle can then be used to free the memory block
afterwards or use this handle for other purposes. Since the function isn't
implemented correctly, and doesn't return a blockhandle, the block can't be
deallocated and is hence unusuable !
This function doesn't allocate any descriptors for this block, it's the
applications resposibility to allocate and initialize for accessing this
memory.

\Description
Allocates a block of \dos real mode memory.
Parameters: 
\begin{description}
\item [bytes:\ ] size of requested real mode memory.
\end{description}
Return values: The low word of the returned value contains the selector to
the allocated \dos memory block, the high word the corresponding real mode
segment value. The offset value is always zero.
This function allocates memory from \dos memory pool, i.e. memory below the 1
MB boundary that is controlled by \dos. Such memory blocks are typically used
to exchange data with real mode programs, TSRs, or device drivers. The
function returns both the real mode segment base address of the block and
one descriptor that can be used by protected mode applications to access the
block. This function should only used for temporary buffers to get real mode
information (e.g. interrupts that need a data structure in ES:(E)DI),
because every single block needs an unique selector. The returned selector
should only be freed by a \seefl{global\_dos\_free}{globaldosfree}  call.

\begin{functionl}{set\_rm\_interrupt}{setrminterrupt}
\Declaration
Function set\_rm\_interrupt (vector : byte; const intaddr :
tseginfo) : boolean;

\Description
Sets a real mode interrupt handler.
Parameters:
\begin{description}
\item[vector:\ ] the interrupt vector number to set.
\item[intaddr:\ ] address of new interrupt vector.
\end{description}
Return values: \var{True} if successful, otherwise \var{False}.
Notes: The address supplied MUST be a real mode segment address, not a
\var{selector:offset} address. So the interrupt handler must either reside in \dos
memory (below 1 Mb boundary) or the application must allocate a real mode
callback address with \seefl{get\_rm\_callback}{getrmcallback}.

\Errors
 Check the \var{int31error} variable.

\begin{functionl}{set\_segment\_base\_address}{setsegmentbaseaddress}
\Declaration
Function set\_segment\_base\_address (d : Word; s : Longint) : boolean;

\Description
Sets the 32-bit linear base address of a descriptor.
Parameters: 
\begin{description}
\item[d:\ ] selector.
\item[s:\ ] new base address of the descriptor.
\end{description}

\begin{functionl}{set\_segment\_limit}{setsegmentlimit}
\Declaration
Function set\_segment\_limit (d : Word; s : Longint) : boolean;

\Description
Sets the limit of a descriptor.
Parameters: 
\begin{description}
\item[d:\ ] selector.
\item[s:\ ] new limit of the descriptor.
\end{description}
Return values: Returns \var{True} if successful, else \var{False}.
Notes: The new limit specified must be the byte length of the segment - 1.
Segment limits bigger than or equal to 1MB must be page aligned, they must
have the lower 12 bits set.
