NAME

trace_irq_handler_entry - called immediately before the irq action handler

SYNOPSIS

void trace_irq_handler_entry(int irq, struct irqaction * action);

ARGUMENTS

irq

: irq number

action

: pointer to struct irqaction

DESCRIPTION

The struct irqaction pointed to by action contains various information about the handler, including the device name, action->name, and the device id, action->dev_id. When used in conjunction with the irq_handler_exit tracepoint, we can figure out irq handler latencies.
