# Interrupts and Interrupt Handling

You will find a couple of posts which describe interrupts and exceptions handling in the linux kernel.

* [Interrupts and Interrupt Handling. Part 1.](https://github.com/0xAX/linux-insides/blob/master/interrupts/interrupts-1.md) - describes an interrupts handling theory.
* [Start to dive into interrupts in the Linux kernel](https://github.com/0xAX/linux-insides/blob/master/interrupts/interrupts-2.md) - this part starts to describe interrupts and exceptions handling related stuff from the early stage.
* [Early interrupt handlers](https://github.com/0xAX/linux-insides/blob/master/interrupts/interrupts-3.md) - third part describes early interrupt handlers.
* [Interrupt handlers](https://github.com/0xAX/linux-insides/blob/master/interrupts/interrupts-4.md) - fourth part describes first non-early interrupt handlers.
* [Implementation of exception handlers](https://github.com/0xAX/linux-insides/blob/master/interrupts/interrupts-5.md) - descripbes implementation of some exception handlers as double fault, divide by zero and etc.
* [Handling Non-Maskable interrupts](https://github.com/0xAX/linux-insides/blob/master/interrupts/interrupts-6.md) - describes handling of non-maskable interrupts and the rest of interrupts handlers from the architecture-specific part.
* [Dive into external hardware interrupts](https://github.com/0xAX/linux-insides/blob/master/interrupts/interrupts-7.md) - this part describes early initialization of code which is related to handling of external hardware interrupts.
* [Non-early initialization of the IRQs](https://github.com/0xAX/linux-insides/blob/master/interrupts/interrupts-8.md) - this part describes non-early initialization of code which is related to handling of external hardware interrupts.
* [Softirq, Tasklets and Workqueues](https://github.com/0xAX/linux-insides/blob/master/interrupts/interrupts-9.md) - this part describes softirqs, tasklets and workqueues concepts.
* [](https://github.com/0xAX/linux-insides/blob/master/interrupts/interrupts-10.md) - this is the last part of the interrupts and interrupt handling chapter and here we will see a real hardware driver and interrupts related stuff.
