testing interrupt responce times

[Sdrolias Aristotelis <sdrolias@ceid.upatras.gr>]

Hello to the list!

 I was wondering if it is possible to test interrupt responce times
without running an interrupt handler. I make myself clear.
 If someone writes a dummy device driver, and periodically runs a function
and measures times isn't more or less the time to serve an
interrupt request MINUS the hardware latency? Is there some kind of
pitfall i haven't thought?? I count on your experience.



thanx alot
