发明名称 System for executing system management interrupts and methods thereof
摘要 An information handling system includes a first processor device to execute a handler in response to a system management interrupt (SMI). While the first processor device executes the SMI handler, a second processor device of the information handling system can continue to execute software and perform other operations in a normal mode. When the first processor device accesses a shared resource in executing the SMI handler, an SMI trap for the shared resource is enabled. In response to the second processor device triggering the SMI trap by accessing the shared resource, the second processor device enters an SMI mode, thereby suspending execution of software and other operations. Accordingly, a second processor device is allowed to continue normal operations while a first processor device executes an SMI handler, improving system efficiency while preventing shared resource conflicts.
