String instructions are special because, in protected mode, the linear address is always obtained via the ES segment register in operands that use the (E)DI register; the DS segment register in operands that use the (E)SI register. Furthermore, segment override prefixes are ignored when calculating a linear address involving the (E)DI register; segment override prefixes can be used when calculating linear addresses involving the (E)SI register. It follows that linear addresses are calculated differently for the case of string instructions. The purpose of this utility function is to identify such instructions for callers to determine a linear address correctly. Note that this function only identifies string instructions; it does not determine what segment register to use in the address computation. That is left to callers. A subsequent commmit introduces a function to determine the segment register to use given the instruction, operands and segment override prefixes.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
