# NAME

`isr_add`, `isr_add_autovect`, `isr_add_vectored`, `isr_add_custom` —
establish interrupt handler

# SYNOPSIS

`#include <sun3/autoconf.h>`

    typedef int (*isr_func_t)(void *);

void
`isr_add_autovect`(isr_func_t fun, void *arg, int level);

void
`isr_add_vectored`(isr_func_t fun, void *arg, int pri, int vec);

void
`isr_add_custom`(int level, void *fun);

# DESCRIPTION

The `isr_add` functions establish interrupt handlers into the system interrupt dispatch table and are typically called from device drivers during the autoconfiguration process.

There are two types of interrupts in the Motorola 68000 architecture, which differ in the way that an interrupt request is mapped to a dispatch function within the interrupt vector table.

When the CPU detects an asserted signal on one of its interrupt request lines, it suspends normal instruction execution and begins an interrupt acknowledge cycle on the system bus. During this cycle the interrupting device directs how the CPU is to dispatch its interrupt request.

If the interrupting device is integrated tightly with the system bus, it provides an 8-bit interrupt vector number to the CPU and a vectored interrupt occurs. This vector number points to a vector entry within the interrupt vector table to which instruction execution is immediately transfered.

If the interrupting device cannot provide a vector number, it asserts a specialized bus line and an autovectored interrupt occurs. The vector number to use is determined by adding the interrupt priority (0–6) to an autovector base (typically `18 hexadecimal`).

`isr_add_autovect`()
  Adds the function fun to the list of interrupt handlers to be called during an autovectored interrupt of priority level. The pointer arg is passed to the function as its first argument.
`isr_add_vectored`()
  Adds the function fun to the list of interrupt handlers to be called during a vectored interrupts of priority pri at dispatch vector number vec. The pointer arg is passed to the function as its first argument.
`isr_add_custom`()
  Establish function fun as the interrupt handler for vector level. The autovector base number is automatically added to level.

  fun is called directly as the dispatch handler and must handle all of the specifics of saving the processor state and returning from a processor exception. These requirements generally dictate that fun be written in assembler.

# BUGS

There is no way to remove a handler once it has been added.
