5Description:	Directory containing information about the system's IRQs.
6		Specifically, data from the associated struct irq_desc.
7		The information here is similar to that in /proc/interrupts
8		but in a more machine-friendly format.  This directory contains
9		one subdirectory for each Linux IRQ number.

11What:		/sys/kernel/irq/<irq>/actions
12Date:		September 2016
13KernelVersion:	4.9
14Contact:	Craig Gallek <kraig@google.com>
15Description:	The IRQ action chain.  A comma-separated list of zero or more
16		device names associated with this interrupt.

22Description:	Human-readable chip name supplied by the associated device
23		driver.

29Description:	When interrupt translation domains are used, this file contains
30		the underlying hardware IRQ number used for this Linux IRQ.

36Description:	Human-readable flow handler name as defined by the irq chip
37		driver.

39What:		/sys/kernel/irq/<irq>/per_cpu_count
40Date:		September 2016
41KernelVersion:	4.9
42Contact:	Craig Gallek <kraig@google.com>
43Description:	The number of times the interrupt has fired since boot.  This
44		is a comma-separated list of counters; one per CPU in CPU id
45		order.  NOTE: This file consistently shows counters for all
46		CPU ids.  This differs from the behavior of /proc/interrupts
47		which only shows counters for online CPUs.

49What:		/sys/kernel/irq/<irq>/type
50Date:		September 2016
51KernelVersion:	4.9
52Contact:	Craig Gallek <kraig@google.com>
53Description:	The type of the interrupt.  Either the string 'level' or 'edge'.
