DEFINE_IDTENTRY_RAW(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ DEFINE_IDTENTRY_RAW ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 🎀 this one's all about emitting code for raw IDT entry points and honestly? it's giving low-level gatekeeping in the best way 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

DEFINE_IDTENTRY_RAW — the macro that emits code for raw IDT entry points, no cap ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

DEFINE_IDTENTRY_RAW (func );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • func — the function name of the entry point, periodt 💖

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so func gets called from ASM entry code with interrupts disabled — like, fully off, don't even try it 🙈

the macro is written so it acts as a function definition. you just append the body with a pair of curly brackets { } and you're literally good to go 🫶

⚠️ okay this part is important, bestie: contrary to DEFINE_IDTENTRY, this does not invoke the idtentry_enter/exit helpers before and after the body invocation. if that's applicable, you gotta do it in the body itself. use this one if extra work is required before the enter/exit helpers are invoked. no cap, that's the whole vibe check 💀

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

the kernel file ./arch/x86/include/asm/idtentry.h and all its iconic friends 👑

and that's the whole page, bestie 💅 this lil slice of documentation comes from ./arch/x86/include/asm, dated October 2026 — go off, kernel queen 👑✨
