Detailed Description

Abstracts the local APIC (which is integrated into every CPU core)

In modern (x86) PCs, every CPU core has its own Local APIC (LAPIC). The LAPIC is the link between the local CPU core and the I/O APIC (that takes care about external interrupt sources. Interrupt messages received by the LAPIC will be passed to the corresponding CPU core and trigger the interrupt handler on this core.

Function Documentation

endOfInterrupt()

void LAPIC::endOfInterrupt

(

)

Signalize EOI (End of interrupt)

Signals to the LAPIC that the handling of the current interrupt finished. This function must be called at the end of interrupt handling before ireting.

getID()

uint8_t LAPIC::getID

(

)

Get the ID of the current core's LAPIC.

Returns

LAPIC ID

getLogicalID()

uint8_t LAPIC::getLogicalID

(

)

Get the Logical ID of the current core's LAPIC.

Returns

Logical ID

getVersion()

uint8_t LAPIC::getVersion

(

)

Get version number of local APIC.

Returns

version number

init()

void LAPIC::init

(

uint8_t

logical_id

)

Initialized the local APIC of the calling CPU core and sets the logical LAPIC ID in the LDR register.

Parameters

logical_id

APIC ID to be set

read()

Register LAPIC::read

(

Index

idx

)

Get value from APIC register.

Parameters

idx	Register Offset Index

Returns

current value of register

setLogicalID()

void LAPIC::setLogicalID

(

uint8_t

id

)

Set the Logical ID of the current core's LAPIC.

Parameters

id	new Logical ID

write()

void LAPIC::write	(	Index	idx,
		Register	value )

Write value to APIC register.

Parameters

idx	Register Offset Index
value	value to be written into register
