NAME top

   /proc/interrupts - number of interrupts

DESCRIPTION top

   _/proc/interrupts_
          This is used to record the number of interrupts per CPU per
          IO device.  Since Linux 2.6.24, for the i386 and x86-64
          architectures, at least, this also includes interrupts
          internal to the system (that is, not associated with a
          device as such), such as NMI (nonmaskable interrupt), LOC
          (local timer interrupt), and for SMP systems, TLB (TLB
          flush interrupt), RES (rescheduling interrupt), CAL (remote
          function call interrupt), and possibly others.  Very easy
          to read formatting, done in ASCII.
