Subject: [PATCH v4 3/6] target/m68k: Fix NMI pending for Level 7 interrupts
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 19:22:19 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260818022225.31801-4-54weasels@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260818022225.31801-1-54weasels@gmail.com>
High level description:
Level 7 interrupts are Non-Maskable Interrupts (NMI) on the M68k architecture. The hardware asserts an NMI only on the rising edge of the level 7 signal. The current QEMU implementation treats level 7 like a standard level interrupt. This patch ensures proper NMI edge-triggered semantics for level 7, which is strictly required by the Sun-3 keyboard/mouse NMI routing logic.
Impact on existing functionality:
Corrects NMI edge-triggering for all M68k boards, adhering closely to the Motorola specifications. Existing boards will now correctly require an edge transition to trigger consecutive NMIs.
Context: This patch was originally submitted as part of the monolithic Sun-3 Machine Emulation series (https://patchew.org/QEMU/20260503015756.99176-1-54weasels@gmail.com/) and has been split into atomic components.
