ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for controlling interrupts in a secure execution mode-capable processor. The method includes detecting an interrupt and performing a predetermined routine in response to detecting the interrupt. The method further includes performing a second routine prior to performing the predetermined routine in response to detecting the interrupt depending upon whether the processor is operating in a secure execution mode.
