Detailed Description

Inter-Processor Interrupts.

For multi-core systems, the LAPIC enables sending messages (Inter-Processor Interrupts, IPIs) to other CPU cores and receiving those sent from other cores.

Class Documentation

struct LAPIC::IPI::InterruptCommand.__unnamed54__

I/O redirection-table entry.

Every entry in the redirection table represents an external source of interrupts and has a size of 64 bits. Due to the I/O APIC registers being only 32 bits wide, the 64-bit value is split in two 32 bit values.

Class Members
Register	value_low	First, low-order register.
Register	value_high	Second, high-order register.

Enumeration Type Documentation

enum LAPIC::IPI::DeliveryMode

Delivery mode specifies the type of interrupt sent to the CPU.

Enumerator
FIXED	"ordinary" interrupt; send to ALL cores listed in the destination bit mask
LOWEST_PRIORITY	"ordinary" interrupt; send to the lowest priority core from destination mask
SMI	System Management Interrupt; vector number required to be 0.
NMI	Non-Maskable Interrupt, vector number ignored, only edge triggered.
INIT	Initialization interrupt (always treated as edge triggered)
INIT_LEVEL_DEASSERT	Synchronization interrupt.
STARTUP	Dedicated Startup-Interrupt (SIPI)

enum LAPIC::IPI::DestinationMode

Way of interpreting the value written to the destination field.

Enumerator
PHYSICAL	Destination contains the physical destination APIC ID.
LOGICAL	Destination contains a mask of logical APIC IDs.

enum LAPIC::IPI::DeliveryStatus

Interrupt state.

Enumerator
IDLE	No activity for this interrupt.
SEND_PENDING	Interrupt will be sent as soon as the bus / LAPIC is ready.

enum LAPIC::IPI::Level

Interrupt level.

Enumerator
DEASSERT	Must be zero when DeliveryMode::INIT_LEVEL_DEASSERT.
ASSERT	Must be one for all other delivery modes.

enum LAPIC::IPI::TriggerMode

Trigger mode for DeliveryMode::INIT_LEVEL_DEASSERT.

Enumerator
EDGE_TRIGGERED	edge triggered
LEVEL_TRIGGERED	level triggered

enum LAPIC::IPI::DestinationShorthand

Shorthand for commonly used destinations.

Enumerator
NO_SHORTHAND	Use destination field instead of shorthand.
SELF	Send IPI to self.
ALL_INCLUDING_SELF	Send IPI to all including self.
ALL_EXCLUDING_SELF	Send IPI to all except self.

enum LAPIC::IPI::InterruptMask

Interrupt mask.

Enumerator
UNMASKED	Interrupt entry is active (non-masked)
MASKED	Interrupt entry is deactivated (masked)

Function Documentation

bool LAPIC::IPI::isDelivered ( )

Check if the previously sent IPI has reached its destination.

Returns: true if the previous IPI was accepted from its target processor, otherwise false

void LAPIC::IPI::send	(	uint8_t	destination,
		uint8_t	vector
	)

Send an Inter-Processor Interrupt (IPI)

Parameters

destination	ID of the target processor (use APIC::getLAPICID(core) )
vector	Interrupt vector number to be triggered

void LAPIC::IPI::sendGroup	(	uint8_t	logical_destination,
		uint8_t	vector
	)

Send an Inter-Processor Interrupt (IPI) to a group of processors.

Parameters

logical_destination	Mask containing the logical APIC IDs of the target processors (use APIC::getLogicalLAPICID())
vector	Interrupt vector number to be triggered

void LAPIC::IPI::sendAll ( uint8_t vector )

Send an Inter-Processor Interrupt (IPI) to all processors (including self)

Parameters

vector Interrupt vector number to be triggered

void LAPIC::IPI::sendOthers ( uint8_t vector )

Send an Inter-Processor Interrupt (IPI) to all other processors (all but self)

Parameters

vector Interrupt vector number to be triggered

void LAPIC::IPI::sendInit ( bool assert = true )

Send an INIT request IPI to all other processors.

Note: Only required for startup

Parameters

assert if true send an INIT, on false send an INIT Level De-assert

void LAPIC::IPI::sendStartup ( uint8_t vector )

Send an Startup IPI to all other processors.

Note: Only required for startup

Parameters

vector Pointer to a startup routine
