Re: Interrupt Table
Hi
I am trying to find out what the code written in
arch/arm/kernel/entry-armv.S means.
( I am working on ARM ).
The code there talks about proirities and other such stuff. I have an idea
about how interrupts work, but I have not been able to figure out what
exactly the table in that file conveys.
I am posting the code which I am trying to understand with this mail.
Regards
Ramki.
P.S: If this is specific to ARM, then please tell me. I will ask these
questions in the ARM list and Sorry for the inconvenience.
