The `check_cpu` function checks the CPU's flags, the presence of [long mode](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_mode) in the case of x86_64(64-bit) CPU, checks the processor's vendor and makes preparations for certain vendors like turning off SSE+SSE2 for AMD if they are missing, etc.

+at the next step, we may see a call to the `set_bios_mode` function after setup code found that a CPU is suitable. As we may see, this function is implemented only for the `x86_64` mode:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```C
|
|
|
+static void set_bios_mode(void)
|
|
|
+{
|
|
|
+#ifdef CONFIG_X86_64
|
|
|
+ struct biosregs ireg;
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ initregs(&ireg);
|
|
|
+ ireg.ax = 0xec00;
|
|
|
+ ireg.bx = 2;
|
|
|
+ intcall(0x15, &ireg, NULL);
|
|
|
+#endif
|
|
|
+}
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The `set_bios_mode` function executes the `0x15` BIOS interrupt to tell the BIOS that [long mode](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_mode) (if `bx == 2`) will be used.
