Description
What you will learn from this course
Interrupts and Exceptions
Types of Interrupts and Exceptions : Level Triggerred, Edge Triggerred, Traps, Faults
Programmable Interrput Controller, Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC) – IO APIC, Local APIC
Find out information about your x86 CPU using CPUID Instruction
What happens when there is interrupt
How does CPU finds the interrupt handler: Interrupt Request, Interrupt Vector and Interrupt Descriptor Table
Interrupt Handling and Statistics in Linux Kernel : Interrupt sharing, return values, IRQ Affinity
Linux Driver for keyboard, mouse, ethernet interrupts
Write a Keylogger in Linux Kernel which will log all characters typed
Enabling/Disabling Interrupts
What happens when we add sleep and delay in interrupt handler
Top and Bottom Halves: Threaded IRQs,Softirqs, Tasklets and Workqueues (System Workqueues and own workqueues)
Differences between softirqs, tasklets and workqueues
