Line 82:
* '''Offset:''' A 32-bit value, split in two parts. It represents the address of the entry point of the '''[[Interrupt Service Routines|Interrupt Service Routine]]'''.
* '''Selector:''' A
* '''Gate Type:''' A 4-bit value which defines the type of gate this '''Interrupt Descriptor''' represents. There are five valid type values:
** '''0b0101''' or '''0x5''': Task Gate, note that in this case, the '''Offset''' value is unused and should be set to zero.
Line 172:
* '''Offset:''' A 64-bit value, split in three parts. It represents the address of the entry point of the '''[[Interrupt Service Routines|Interrupt Service Routine]]'''.
* '''Selector:''' A
* '''IST:''' A 3-bit value which is an offset into the '''Interrupt Stack Table''', which is stored in the '''[[Task State Segment]]'''. If the bits are all set to zero, the '''Interrupt Stack Table''' is not used.
* '''Gate Type:''' A 4-bit value which defines the type of gate this '''Interrupt Descriptor''' represents. In long mode there are two valid type values:
