1: 通过调用 request_irq api来注册指定中断号上的 irq_handler，flags可选是否是共享或者其他
static inline int __must_check
request_irq(unsigned int irq, irq_handler_t handler, unsigned long flags,
const char *name, void *dev)
{
return request_threaded_irq(irq, handler, NULL, flags, name, dev);
}
2：requst_irq 进一步调用 request_threaded_irq
desc = irq_to_desc(irq); // 获取该irq号对应的 irq_desc结构，并check相关的字段，注意到desc结构和irq号是一一对应的(采用基数树结构实现irq_desc_tree)
action = kzalloc(sizeof(struct irqaction), GFP_KERNEL); // 创建一个irqaction对象
action = kzalloc(sizeof(struct irqaction), GFP_KERNEL);
if (!action)
return -ENOMEM;
action->handler = handler;
action->thread_fn = thread_fn;
action->flags = irqflags;
action->name = devname;
action->dev_id = dev_id;
retval = __setup_irq(irq, desc, action); // 调用__setup_irq 安装action
3：__setup_irq函数负责安装一个irq，应该是代码的核心所在
/*
* Internal function to register an irqaction - typically used to
* allocate special interrupts that are part of the architecture.
*/
static int
__setup_irq(unsigned int irq, struct irq_desc *desc, struct irqaction *new)
Step1: 如果触发类型没有指定，那么使用默认的配置
Step2：检查中断是否被嵌套到其他的中断线程中
Step3：如果该中断提供了一个线程函数并且中断不被其他线程嵌套，那么就为该中断创建一个线程
/*
* Create a handler thread when a thread function is supplied
* and the interrupt does not nest into another interrupt
* thread.
*/
if (new->thread_fn && !nested) {
ret = setup_irq_thread(new, irq, false);
if (ret)
goto out_mput;
if (new->secondary) {
ret = setup_irq_thread(new->secondary, irq, true);
if (ret)
goto out_thread;
}
}
Step4：如果该中断号被设置为共享，那么必须满足下面的条件
（1）同一个IRQ上被注册的其他irq_handler都设置了共享，即IRQF_SHARED
（2）中断触发类型必须相同(level, edge, polarity)
（3）是否是ONESHOT类型也必须保持一致
（4）all handlers must agree on per-cpuness
/* add new interrupt at end of irq queue */
do {
/*
* Or all existing action->thread_mask bits,
* so we can find the next zero bit for this
* new action.
*/
thread_mask |= old->thread_mask;
old_ptr = &old->next;
old = *old_ptr;
} while (old);
shared = 1;
Step5:
Step6：设置和更新/proc/interrupts的显示
register_irq_proc(irq, desc);
new->dir = NULL;
register_handler_proc(irq, new);
4：内核提供了配置开关，可以开启强制irq线程
注意：部分中断是不能被线程化的，例如IPIs中断等，这些中断被标志为：IRQF_NO_THREAD，All interrupts marked IRQF_TIMER or IRQF_PER_CPU are automatically excluded from threading
#ifdef CONFIG_IRQ_FORCE_THREADING
__readmostly bool fore_threads
5：早期的中断和异常处理
https://xinqiu.gitbooks.io/linux-insides-cn/content/Initialization/linux-initialization-2.html
arch/x86/kernel/head64.c，中断向量共256个（前32个为异常，后面的为中断编号：32~255）
#define NUM_EXCEPTION_VECTORS 32
在64位模式下我们IDT（中断描述符表）初始化
set_intr_gate(n, addr)
set_system_gate(n, addr)
set_system_intr_gate(n, addr)
set_trap_gate(n, addr)
set_task_gate(n, addr)
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_64
struct desc_ptr idt_descr __ro_after_init = {
.size = NR_VECTORS * 16 - 1,
.address = (unsigned long) idt_table,
};
asmlinkage __visible void __init x86_64_start_kernel(char * real_mode_data)
{
for (i = 0; i < NUM_EXCEPTION_VECTORS; i++)
set_intr_gate(i, early_idt_handler_array[i]); // 设置中断门，填充到idt_table里
load_idt((const struct desc_ptr *)&idt_descr);
}
static inline void _set_gate(int gate, unsigned type, void *addr,
unsigned dpl, unsigned ist, unsigned seg)
{
gate_desc s;
pack_gate(&s, type, (unsigned long)addr, dpl, ist, seg);
/*
* does not need to be atomic because it is only done once at
* setup time
*/
write_idt_entry(idt_table, gate, &s);
write_trace_idt_entry(gate, &s);
}
static inline void native_write_idt_entry(gate_desc *idt, int entry, const gate_desc *gate)
{
memcpy(&idt[entry], gate, sizeof(*gate));
}
如果是由中断门进入中断处理程序的，CPU会清除IF标志位，这样当当前中断处理程序执行时，CPU不会对其他的中断进行处理；
只有当当前的中断处理程序返回时，CPU才在iret指令执行时重新设置IF标志位。
默认情况下，内核栈（线程栈大小为）2个Page大小（32位体系结构上8KB，64位体系结构上16KB）
中断上下文的栈空间大小在禁用KASAN时大小是2个Page大小（和线程栈类似）
#define IRQ_STACK_ORDER (2 + KASAN_STACK_ORDER)
#define IRQ_STACK_SIZE (PAGE_SIZE << IRQ_STACK_ORDER)
#define THREAD_SIZE_ORDER (2 + KASAN_STACK_ORDER)
#define THREAD_SIZE (PAGE_SIZE << THREAD_SIZE_ORDER)
PerCPU的中断栈
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_64
per_cpu(irq_stack_ptr, cpu) =
per_cpu(irq_stack_union.irq_stack, cpu) +
IRQ_STACK_SIZE;
#endif

调用流程 do_IRQ --> handle_irq --> generic_handle_irq_desc --> desc->handle_irq(desc);
作业：
(1)irq_stack_union的含义是什么？
(2)desc数据结构是合适创建的？
答：
256个中断向量对应的irq_desc不是一次性初始化完的。
其中一条路径是：start_kernel --> early_irq_init --> alloc_descs --> irq_insert_desc
另外一条路径是： arch_setup_msi_irq --> irq_alloc_hwirq --> irq_alloc_hwirqs --> __irq_alloc_descs --> alloc_descs
