Introduction
The IRQ subsystem contains all things related to interrupts management.
Overview
The IRQ subsystem manages the following elements:
- TSS structure generation and loading
- GDT generation for bootstrap and applications processors, and GDT loading
- IDT generation and loading
- IRQ handlers
- ISO registering and GSI abstractions
Please note the following:
- this subsystem is only targeting the x86-64 architecture
- this subsystem should only be used after the full memory subsystem initialization
- all the assets generated by this subsystem is, for the moment, only useful for the task performed during the boot process
