The Apple Interrupt Controller is a simple interrupt controller present on
Apple ARM SoC platforms, including various iPhone and iPad devices and the
"Apple Silicon" Macs.
It provides the following features:
- Level-triggered hardware IRQs wired to SoC blocks
- Single mask bit per IRQ
- Per-IRQ affinity setting
- Automatic masking on event delivery (auto-ack)
- Software triggering (ORed with hw line)
- 2 per-CPU IPIs (meant as "self" and "other", but they are interchangeable
if not symmetric)
- Automatic prioritization (single event/ack register per CPU, lower IRQs =
higher priority)
- Automatic masking on ack
- Default "this CPU" register view and explicit per-CPU views
This device also represents the FIQ interrupt sources on platforms using AIC,
which do not go through a discrete interrupt controller.
IPIs may be performed via MMIO registers on all variants of AIC. Starting
from A11, system registers may also be used for "fast" IPIs. Starting from
M1, even faster IPIs within the same cluster may be achieved by writing to
a "local" fast IPI register as opposed to using the "global" fast IPI
register.

Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
