Hi, As a real beginner in Linux kernel programming, I would like to ask a question on how to handle the NMI. I?m writing a device driver where it is required to catch and handle the NMI interrupt with my own handler. It is running on a x86 arch, the kernel is 2.4.21. Searching through this list, I found several messages relative to the same topic. There seem to be 2 solutions that consist in either modifying the IDT to call my own handler or in modifying the do_nmi( ) function to call my own handler. I found the functions set_nmi_callback( ) and unset_nmi_callback( ) in /usr/src/linux/include/asm/nmi.h but could not find any documentation on these. Can these be used to set a NMI handler in the way I describe above ? I guess request_irq( ) is irrelevant for NMI handling ? Any help will be appreciated. Please CC me in the answer as I am not subscribed to the list. Thanks in advance. Hien Thong Vous manquez d?espace pour stocker vos mails ? Yahoo! Mail vous offre GRATUITEMENT 100 Mo !
