HI,
    These day i wanted get cpu context ,when interrupt came.BUT i
found when interrupt came kernel saved cpu context in struct pt_regs
and delivered to do_IRQ ,and i print the pt_regs->eip,they alway same
on the same interrupt?
     The interrupt can come anytime,i think the eip will be very
different every time.BUT i debug kernel ,print eip in the function
do_IRQ,found it didn't run as i thought.Can anybody tell me why?


sincerely yours

If the cpu is idle, you have a higher probability that the idle function 
is in regs->eip

And the prototype about irq_handler changed, the 3th parameter "struct
pt_regs" removed,How do i get the struct pt_regs in my interrupt
handler because kernel doesn't deliver to me?

get_irq_regs() should do that.
