Using libcap on CentOS 5

1. download libcap source from tcpdump.org
2. install it
2.1. yum install flex
2.2. download byacc from http://invisible-island.net/byacc/byacc.html
2.3. install byacc
3. then compile a sample program will be OK. But when running it, may got an error saying cannot find libcap.so.1. To solve this, use following:
set /usr/local/lib
/usr/lib
into /etc/ld.so.conf and then execute ldconfig command.

Intel CPU manual, 3A, chapter 9.9.1


1. Disable interrupts. A CLI instruction disables maskable hardware interrupts. NMI interrupts can be disabled with external circuitry. (Software must guarantee that no exceptions or interrupts are generated during the mode switching operation.)
2. Execute the LGDT instruction to load the GDTR register with the base address of the GDT.
3. Execute a MOV CR0 instruction that sets the PE flag (and optionally the PG flag) in control register CR0.
4. Immediately following the MOV CR0 instruction, execute a far JMP or far CALL instruction. (This operation is typically a far jump or call to the next instruction in the instruction stream.)
5. The JMP or CALL instruction immediately after the MOV CR0 instruction changes the flow of execution and serializes the processor.
