 Interrupts are signal that are sent across [IRQ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interrupt_request_%28PC_architecture%29) or `Interrupt Request Line` by a hardware or software. External hardware interrupts allow devices like keyboard, mouse and etc, to indicate that it needs attention of the processor. Once the processor receives the `Interrupt Request`, it will temporary stop execution of the running program and invoke special routine which depends on an interrupt. We already know that this routine is called interrupt handler (or how we will call it `ISR` or `Interrupt Service Routine` from this part). The `ISR` or `Interrupt Handler Routine` can be found in Interrupt Vector table that is located at fixed address in the memory. After the interrupt is handled processor resumes the interrupted process. At the boot/initialization time, the Linux kernel identifies all devices in the machine, and appropriate interrupt handlers are loaded into the interrupt table. As we saw in the previous parts, most exceptions are handled simply by the sending a [Unix signal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_signal) to the interrupted process. That's why kernel is can handle an exception quickly. Unfortunately we can not use this approach for the external hardware interrupts, because often they arrive after (and sometimes long after) the process to which they are related has been suspended. So it would make no sense to send a Unix signal to the current process. External interrupt handling depends on the type of an interrupt:

-This post opens up a new chapter in [linux-insides](http://0xax.gitbooks.io/linux-insides/content/) book, and as you may understand from the title, this chapter will be devoted to the [System call](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_call) concept in the Linux kernel. The choice of topic for this chapter is not accidental. In the previous [chapter](http://0xax.gitbooks.io/linux-insides/content/interrupts/index.html) we saw interrupts and interrupt handling. The concept of system calls is very similar to that of interrupts. This is because the most common way to implement system calls is as software interrupts. We will see many different aspects that are related to the system call concept. For example, we will learn what's happening when a system call occurs from userspace. We will see an implementation of a couple system call handlers in the Linux kernel, [VDSO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDSO) and [vsyscall](https://lwn.net/Articles/446528/) concepts and many many more.

-At this point, we have filled the system call table and the Linux kernel knows where each system call handler is. But the Linux kernel does not call a `sys_syscall_name` function immediately after it is instructed to handle a system call from a user space application. Remember the [chapter](http://0xax.gitbooks.io/linux-insides/content/interrupts/index.html) about interrupts and interrupt handling. When the Linux kernel gets the control to handle an interrupt, it had to do some preparations like save user space registers, switch to a new stack and many more tasks before it will call an interrupt handler. There is the same situation with the system call handling. The preparation for handling a system call is the first thing, but before the Linux kernel will start these preparations, the entry point of a system call must be initialized and only the Linux kernel knows how to perform this preparation. In the next paragraph we will see the process of the initialization of the system call entry in the Linux kernel.
