Trap Entry/Exit, Interrupt Priority, and Exception Precision: Review Checklist

Review checklist

Review Checklist for Trap Entry/Exit, Interrupt Priority, and Exception Precision is anchored on Worst-case trap-entry cycles, interrupt response jitter, and precise-exception replay success rate under pipeline backpressure.. Convert observations into mechanism-backed decisions with explicit ownership.

• Workload scope and KPI targets are explicit.

• Environment metadata is locked and reproducible.

• Mechanism classification is evidence-backed.

• Owner and rollback conditions are documented.

• Validation matrix covers correctness, perf, and power.

• Owners signed: CPU microarchitecture lead, interrupt controller architect, firmware runtime owner, kernel exception owner, post-silicon debug owner.
