Hi all:
I read some articles about Linux interrupt mechanism. but I still
don't know clearly the handling process when interrupt happens. Maybe I
don't familiar with some hardwares interrupting refered to, such as
IRQ, PIC... a hardware associated with a device(interrupt controler?),
and so on. could somebody instruct me on these topics or some learning
advices? I've confused them for some days.
Thanks.
