Each thread has an associated Thread Interrupt Management context
composed of a set of registers. These registers let the thread handle
priority management and interrupt acknowledgment. The most important
are :
- Interrupt Pending Buffer (IPB)
- Current Processor Priority (CPPR)
- Notification Source Register (NSR)
They are exposed to software in four different pages each proposing a
view with a different privilege. The first page is for the physical
thread context and the second for the hypervisor. Only the third
(operating system) and the fourth (user level) are exposed the guest.
A custom VM fault handler will populate the VMA with the appropriate
pages, which should only be the OS page for now.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
