5.2.11 Interrupt Summary Register – ISUM

The interrupt summary register (ISUM) is a read-only register that records all pending hardware, software, and AST interrupt requests that have their corresponding enable bit set.

If a new interrupt (hardware, serial line, crd, or performance counters) occurs simulta- neously with an ISUM read, the ISUM read returns zeros. That condition is normally assumed to be a passive release condition. The interrupt is signaled again when the PALcode returns to native mode. The effects of this condition can be minimized by reading ISUM twice and ORing the results.

Usage of ISUM in performance monitoring is described in Section 6.10. Figure 5–18shows the interrupt summary register.
