Thank You for answer ... i'll read this sources ...
but actualy i want to know what instructions processor
recive after int. My goal is to understand better GDT,
IDT, LDT in Linux, i want to know what's going on when
i call for example 125 system call (sys_mprotect)
whitch allow me change acces rights to given memory
area. Theory i know ( almost everything is writen in
Intel guides ) but i need practice. By the way if
smoebody knoe how to change acces rigts to memory
without system calls, please help :)

regards
Lukas
