Abstract:
Managing interrupts in a computing environment includes executing an instruction, deriving an interrupt mask value based at least in part on the instruction being executed, performing a masking operation involving the interrupt mask value and at least one pending interrupt to determine whether a pending interrupt is allowable, and in the event that the pending interrupt is allowable, performing the interrupt.
