    摘要: Methods and arrangements for managing interrupts in a processing system are disclosed. The method can determine an indication of an interrupt request from a peripheral entity, identify the peripheral entity associated with the indication, count occurrences of the indications; and flag the peripheral entity in response to the counted occurrences. When the counted occurrences reach a predetermined number in the predetermined time interval, interrupts from the peripheral entity can be ignored or the entity can be identified as having possible operational problems.
