From 19eadf98c8167eac843580683317b99572e2abf0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2006 02:53:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86: increase interrupt vector range Remove the limit of 256 interrupt vectors by changing the value stored in orig_{e,r}ax to be the complemented interrupt vector. The orig_{e,r}ax needs to be < 0 to allow the signal code to distinguish between return from interrupt and return from syscall. With this change applied, NR_IRQS can be > 256. Xen extends the IRQ numbering space to include room for dynamically allocated virtual interrupts (in the range 256-511), which requires a more permissive interface to do_IRQ.
