You can, for example, check which interrupts are currently in use and what
Of some interest is the introduction of the /proc/irq directory to 2.4.
It could be used to set IRQ to CPU affinity, this means that you can "hook" an
IRQ to only one CPU, or to exclude a CPU of handling IRQs. The contents of the
-irq subdir is one subdir for each IRQ, and one file; prof_cpu_mask
+irq subdir is one subdir for each IRQ, and two files; default_smp_affinity and
+prof_cpu_mask.
For example
> ls /proc/irq/
0 10 12 14 16 18 2 4 6 8 prof_cpu_mask
- 1 11 13 15 17 19 3 5 7 9
+ 1 11 13 15 17 19 3 5 7 9 default_smp_affinity
> ls /proc/irq/0/
smp_affinity
-The contents of the prof_cpu_mask file and each smp_affinity file for each IRQ
-is the same by default:
+smp_affinity is a bitmask, in which you can specify which CPUs can handle the
+IRQ, you can set it by doing:
- > cat /proc/irq/0/smp_affinity
- ffffffff
+ > echo 1 > /proc/irq/10/smp_affinity
+
+This means that only the first CPU will handle the IRQ, but you can also echo
+5 which means that only the first and fourth CPU can handle the IRQ.
+
+The contents of each smp_affinity file is the same by default:
-It's a bitmask, in which you can specify which CPUs can handle the IRQ, you can
-set it by doing:
+ > cat /proc/irq/0/smp_affinity
+ ffffffff
- > echo 1 > /proc/irq/prof_cpu_mask
+The default_smp_affinity mask applies to all non-active IRQs, which are the
+IRQs which have not yet been allocated/activated, and hence which lack a
+/proc/irq/[0-9]* directory.
-This means that only the first CPU will handle the IRQ, but you can also echo 5
-which means that only the first and fourth CPU can handle the IRQ.
+prof_cpu_mask specifies which CPUs are to be profiled by the system wide
+profiler. Default value is ffffffff (all cpus).
The way IRQs are routed is handled by the IO-APIC, and it's Round Robin
between all the CPUs which are allowed to handle it. As usual the kernel has

+vmallocinfo:
+
+Provides information about vmalloced/vmaped areas. One line per area,
+containing the virtual address range of the area, size in bytes,
+caller information of the creator, and optional information depending
+on the kind of area :
+
+ pages=nr number of pages
+ phys=addr if a physical address was specified
+ ioremap I/O mapping (ioremap() and friends)
+ vmalloc vmalloc() area
+ vmap vmap()ed pages
+ user VM_USERMAP area
+ vpages buffer for pages pointers was vmalloced (huge area)
+ N<node>=nr (Only on NUMA kernels)
+ Number of pages allocated on memory node <node>
