- | System management interrupts are high priority unmaskable hardware interrupts which cause the CPU to immediately suspend all other activities, including the operating system, and go into a special execution mode called [[realtime:documentation:howto:debugging:smi-latency:smm|system management mode]] (SMM). Once the system is in SMM, the interrupt is handled by firmware code. | + | System management interrupts are high priority unmaskable hardware interrupts which cause the CPU to immediately suspend all other activities, including the operating system, and go into a special execution mode called [[realtime:documentation:howto:debugging:smi-latency:smm|system management mode]] (SMM) ([[https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-sdm|Intel SDM]], Vol.1 3.1).
