Interrupt Handling on x86 (RT) and Boot Interrupt Quirks
Alexander Graf, Olaf Dabrunz, Stefan Assmann
This paper details how the Linux kernel manages interrupts on the x86 platform and explains threaded interrupt handling, as used in the real-time Linux kernel. Threaded interrupt handling has been troubled by interactions with some hardware mechanisms since its introduction in real-time Linux. For that reason we describe mechanisms, sometimes called "boot interrupts",that route interrupts coming from seondary buses to the primary interrupt ontroller in the system, when the system is onsidered to use the legacy interrupt controller (PIC). These boot interrupts are responsible for unexpected interrupts on many systems that actually use non-legacy interrupt controllers (APICs) when interrupts are handled in threaded mode. Solutions on how to make boot interrupts disappear on many chipsets are presented.
