1.中断处理体系结构

Linux内核将所有中断统一编号，使用一个irq_desc结构数组来描述这些中断。

数组声明在/linux/kernel/irq/handle.c中，其中#define NR_IRQS 128，定义在/linux/include/asm/irq.h中

/*
 * Linux has a controller-independent interrupt architecture.
 * Every controller has a 'controller-template', that is used
 * by the main code to do the right thing. Each driver-visible
 * interrupt source is transparently wired to the appropriate
 * controller. Thus drivers need not be aware of the
 * interrupt-controller.
 *
 * The code is designed to be easily extended with new/different
 * interrupt controllers, without having to do assembly magic or
 * having to touch the generic code.
 *
 * Controller mappings for all interrupt sources:
 */
struct irq_desc irq_desc[NR_IRQS] __cacheline_aligned_in_smp = {
    [0 ... NR_IRQS-1] = {
        .status = IRQ_DISABLED,
        .chip = &no_irq_chip,
        .handle_irq = handle_bad_irq,
        .depth = 1,
        .lock = __SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED(irq_desc->lock),
#ifdef CONFIG_SMP
        .affinity = CPU_MASK_ALL
#endif
    }
};

irq_desc结构的数据类型在/linuxinclude/linux/irq.h中定义，

struct irq_desc {
    irq_flow_handler_t    handle_irq;
    struct irq_chip        *chip;
    struct msi_desc        *msi_desc;
    void            *handler_data;
    void            *chip_data;
    struct irqaction    *action;    /* IRQ action list */
    unsigned int        status;        /* IRQ status */

    unsigned int        depth;        /* nested irq disables */
    unsigned int        wake_depth;    /* nested wake enables */
    unsigned int        irq_count;    /* For detecting broken IRQs */
    unsigned int        irqs_unhandled;
    spinlock_t        lock;
#ifdef CONFIG_SMP
    cpumask_t        affinity;
    unsigned int        cpu;
#endif
#if defined(CONFIG_GENERIC_PENDING_IRQ) || defined(CONFIG_IRQBALANCE)
    cpumask_t        pending_mask;
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_PROC_FS
    struct proc_dir_entry    *dir;
#endif
    const char        *name;
} ____cacheline_internodealigned_in_smp;

handle_irq是这个或这组中断的处理函数入口。发生中断时，总入口函数asm_do_IRQ将根据中断号调用相应irq_desc数组项中handle_irq.

typedef    void fastcall (*irq_flow_handler_t)(unsigned int irq,                struct irq_desc *desc);

handle_irq使用chip结构中的函数清除、屏蔽或者重新使能中断，还要调用用户在action链表中注册的中断处理函数。irq_chip结构类型也是在include/linux/irq.h中定义，其中的成员大多用于操作底层硬件，比如设置寄存器以屏蔽中断，使能中断，清除中断等。注意这里的成员name会出现在/proc/interrupts中。
