UEFI
|

backward compatibility. UEFI can run in 32-bit or 64-bit mode and, more
|
|
important, support Secure Boot, checking the OS validity to ensure no
|
|
malware has tampered with the boot process.

IDT
|
|
Interrupt Descriptor Table: a data structure used by the x86
|
|
architecture to implement an interrupt vector table. The IDT is used
|
|
to determine the correct response to interrupts and exceptions.

|
ISR
|
|
Interrupt Service Routine: Also known as an interrupt handler, an ISR
|
|
is a callback function whose execution is triggered by a hardware
|
|
interrupt (or software interrupt instructions) and is used to handle
|
|
high-priority conditions that require interrupting the current code
|
|
executing on the processor.
