-Introduction
-============
-
-Any real-time executive must provide a mechanism for quick response to
-externally generated interrupts to satisfy the critical time constraints of the
-application. The interrupt manager provides this mechanism for RTEMS. This
-manager permits quick interrupt response times by providing the critical
-ability to alter task execution which allows a task to be preempted upon exit
-from an ISR. The interrupt manager includes the following directive:
-
-- rtems_interrupt_catch_ - Establish an ISR
-
-- rtems_interrupt_disable_ - Disable Interrupts
-
-- rtems_interrupt_enable_ - Enable Interrupts
-
-- rtems_interrupt_flash_ - Flash Interrupt
-
-- rtems_interrupt_local_disable_ - Disable Interrupts on Current Processor
-
-- rtems_interrupt_local_enable_ - Enable Interrupts on Current Processor
-
-- rtems_interrupt_lock_initialize_ - Initialize an ISR Lock
-
-- rtems_interrupt_lock_acquire_ - Acquire an ISR Lock
-
-- rtems_interrupt_lock_release_ - Release an ISR Lock
-
-- rtems_interrupt_lock_acquire_isr_ - Acquire an ISR Lock from ISR
-
-- rtems_interrupt_lock_release_isr_ - Release an ISR Lock from ISR
-
-- rtems_interrupt_is_in_progress_ - Is an ISR in Progress
-
-Background
-==========
-
-Processing an Interrupt
------------------------
-.. index:: interrupt processing
-
-The interrupt manager allows the application to connect a function to a
-hardware interrupt vector. When an interrupt occurs, the processor will
-automatically vector to RTEMS. RTEMS saves and restores all registers which
-are not preserved by the normal C calling convention for the target processor
-and invokes the user's ISR. The user's ISR is responsible for processing the
-interrupt, clearing the interrupt if necessary, and device specific
-manipulation.
-
-.. index:: rtems_vector_number
-
-The ``rtems_interrupt_catch`` directive connects a procedure to an interrupt
-vector. The vector number is managed using the ``rtems_vector_number`` data
-type.
-
-The interrupt service routine is assumed to abide by these conventions and have
-a prototype similar to the following:
-
-.. index:: rtems_isr
-
-.. code-block:: c
-
- rtems_isr user_isr(
- rtems_vector_number vector
- );
-
-The vector number argument is provided by RTEMS to allow the application to
-identify the interrupt source. This could be used to allow a single routine to
-service interrupts from multiple instances of the same device. For example, a
-single routine could service interrupts from multiple serial ports and use the
-vector number to identify which port requires servicing.
-
-To minimize the masking of lower or equal priority level interrupts, the ISR
-should perform the minimum actions required to service the interrupt. Other
-non-essential actions should be handled by application tasks. Once the user's
-ISR has completed, it returns control to the RTEMS interrupt manager which will
-perform task dispatching and restore the registers saved before the ISR was
-invoked.
-
-The RTEMS interrupt manager guarantees that proper task scheduling and
-dispatching are performed at the conclusion of an ISR. A system call made by
-the ISR may have readied a task of higher priority than the interrupted task.
-Therefore, when the ISR completes, the postponed dispatch processing must be
-performed. No dispatch processing is performed as part of directives which
-have been invoked by an ISR.
-
-Applications must adhere to the following rule if proper task scheduling and
-dispatching is to be performed:
-
-.. note::
-
- The interrupt manager must be used for all ISRs which may be interrupted by
- the highest priority ISR which invokes an RTEMS directive.
-
-Consider a processor which allows a numerically low interrupt level to
-interrupt a numerically greater interrupt level. In this example, if an RTEMS
-directive is used in a level 4 ISR, then all ISRs which execute at levels 0
-through 4 must use the interrupt manager.
-
-Interrupts are nested whenever an interrupt occurs during the execution of
-another ISR. RTEMS supports efficient interrupt nesting by allowing the nested
-ISRs to terminate without performing any dispatch processing. Only when the
-outermost ISR terminates will the postponed dispatching occur.
-
-RTEMS Interrupt Levels
-----------------------
-.. index:: interrupt levels
-
-Many processors support multiple interrupt levels or priorities. The exact
-number of interrupt levels is processor dependent. RTEMS internally supports
-256 interrupt levels which are mapped to the processor's interrupt levels. For
-specific information on the mapping between RTEMS and the target processor's
-interrupt levels, refer to the Interrupt Processing chapter of the Applications
-Supplement document for a specific target processor.
-
-Disabling of Interrupts by RTEMS
---------------------------------
-.. index:: disabling interrupts
-
-During the execution of directive calls, critical sections of code may be
-executed. When these sections are encountered, RTEMS disables all maskable
-interrupts before the execution of the section and restores them to the
-previous level upon completion of the section. RTEMS has been optimized to
-ensure that interrupts are disabled for a minimum length of time. The maximum
-length of time interrupts are disabled by RTEMS is processor dependent and is
-detailed in the Timing Specification chapter of the Applications Supplement
-document for a specific target processor.
-
-Non-maskable interrupts (NMI) cannot be disabled, and ISRs which execute at
-this level MUST NEVER issue RTEMS system calls. If a directive is invoked,
-unpredictable results may occur due to the inability of RTEMS to protect its
-critical sections. However, ISRs that make no system calls may safely execute
-as non-maskable interrupts.
-
-Operations
-==========
-
-Establishing an ISR
--------------------
-
-The ``rtems_interrupt_catch`` directive establishes an ISR for the system. The
-address of the ISR and its associated CPU vector number are specified to this
-directive. This directive installs the RTEMS interrupt wrapper in the
-processor's Interrupt Vector Table and the address of the user's ISR in the
-RTEMS' Vector Table. This directive returns the previous contents of the
-specified vector in the RTEMS' Vector Table.
-
-Directives Allowed from an ISR
-------------------------------
-
-Using the interrupt manager ensures that RTEMS knows when a directive is being
-called from an ISR. The ISR may then use system calls to synchronize itself
-with an application task. The synchronization may involve messages, events or
-signals being passed by the ISR to the desired task. Directives invoked by an
-ISR must operate only on objects which reside on the local node. The following
-is a list of RTEMS system calls that may be made from an ISR:
-
-- Task Management
- Although it is acceptable to operate on the RTEMS_SELF task (e.g. the
- currently executing task), while in an ISR, this will refer to the
- interrupted task. Most of the time, it is an application implementation
- error to use RTEMS_SELF from an ISR.

- The following services are safe to call from an ISR if and only if
- the device driver service invoked is also safe. The IO Manager itself
- is safe but the invoked driver entry point may or may not be.
-
- - rtems_io_initialize

-returns to the caller.
-
-**NOTES:**
-
-This directive will not cause the calling task to be preempted.

-available to an interrupt service routine are restricted.
-
-**NOTES:**
-
-This directive will not cause the calling task to be preempted.
