-Here we specified a model specific register with `MSR_GS_BASE`, put the 64-bit address of the `initial_gs` to the `edx:eax` pair and execute the `wrmsr` instruction for filling the `gs` register with the base address of the `init_per_cpu__irq_stack_union` which will be at the bottom of the interrupt stack. After this we will jump to the C code on the `x86_64_start_kernel` from the [arch/x86/kernel/head64.c](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/16f73eb02d7e1765ccab3d2018e0bd98eb93d973/arch/x86/kernel/head64.c). In the `x86_64_start_kernel` function we do the last preparations before we jump into the generic and architecture-independent kernel code and one of these preparations is filling the early `Interrupt Descriptor Table` with the interrupts handlers entries or `early_idt_handlers`. You can remember it, if you have read the part about the [Early interrupt and exception handling](https://0xax.gitbook.io/linux-insides/summary/initialization/linux-initialization-2) and can remember following code:
