Below are some tools for confirming and characterizing SMIs presented in a suggested order of use. Counting SMIs with Cyclictest is a good place to start because it is a good idea to first confirm that SMIs are happening on a system before investigating the possibility that they are causing latencies. | Below are some tools for confirming and characterizing SMIs presented in a suggested order of use.

The concepts of SMI and SMM are specific to x86, but some of the techniques and tools mentioned above can be used to debug similar firmware or hardware issues on other architectures. | The concepts of SMI and SMM are specific to x86, but some of the techniques and tools mentioned above can be used to debug similar firmware or hardware issues on other architectures. |
