Load GDTR (Global Descriptor Table Register) from memory. [b] Yes 0 LIDT m16&32 [a] 0F 01 /3: Load IDTR (Interrupt Descriptor Table Register) from memory. [b] The IDTR controls not just the address/size of the IDT (interrupt Descriptor Table) in protected mode, but the IVT (Interrupt Vector Table) in real mode as well. LMSW r/m16: 0F 01 /6

Running it under strace verifies that no extra system calls are made in the process. The printf version would make many more system calls to initialize libc and do dynamic linking. But this is a static executable because we linked using ld without -pie or any shared libraries; the only instructions that run in user-space are the ones you provide.
Most assembly languages do not provide specific syntax for operating system calls, and most assembly languages can be used universally with any operating system, [nb 2] as the language provides access to all the real capabilities of the processor, upon which all system call mechanisms ultimately rest.
A high-level overview of the Linux kernel's system call interface, which handles communication between its various components and the userspace. In computing, a system call (commonly abbreviated to syscall) is the programmatic way in which a computer program requests a service from the operating system [a] on which it is executed.
INT is an assembly language instruction for x86 processors that generates a software interrupt. It takes the interrupt number formatted as a byte value. [1] When written in assembly language, the instruction is written like this: INT X. where X is the software interrupt that should be generated (0-255).

Ralf Brown's Interrupt List (aka RBIL, x86 Interrupt List, MS-DOS Interrupt List or INTER) is a comprehensive list of interrupts, calls, hooks, interfaces, data structures, CMOS settings, memory and port addresses, as well as processor opcodes for x86 machines from the 1981 IBM PC up to 2000 (including many clones), [1] [2] [nb 1] most of it still applying to IBM PC compatibles today.
