idt_setup_ap...nd_irq_gates(9)

💅 idt_setup_ap...nd_irq_gates(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🎀

okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, it's giving "who even sets up my interrupts" energy, and this function right here is the answer. it lives in the Kernel API Manual (that's the manual name, mwah, we love her) and it handles Setup APIC/SMP and normal interrupt gates. that's the whole vibe. ✨

🦋 NAME 🦋

idt_setup_apic_and_irq_gates — literally just Setup APIC/SMP and normal interrupt gates. that's it, that's the girl. 🌸

---

🔥 SYNOPSIS 🔥

void idt_setup_apic_and_irq_gates (void );

no cap, that's the whole signature. she takes nothing, she returns nothing, she serves. 💅

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

bestie do not try to hand her a parameter. there's no room at the table. void means void, periodt. 🫶

the kernel file she lives in: ./arch/x86/kernel/idt.c (iykyk, go read the source, it's giving main character energy) 💖

lowkey a reminder: this whole page is the tl;dr — the real lore is in ./arch/x86/kernel/idt.c. go touch grass, then go touch the source. 🌱

okay bye bestie, mwah 💋 this page came from the ./arch/x86/kernel directory, dated October 2026, and yes she says her own name again on the way out — idt_setup_ap...nd_irq_gates(9) — because she's that girl. ⭐💜
