This chapter provides information on the new physical and virtual Device Helper (DevHlp) routines in OS/2 Warp Server for SMP.

The OS/2 kernel provides the following new DevHlps:

Device Helper Functions
Function Name EQU Value Description
DevHlp_PerfSysTrace 69 (45) Record data in STRACE buffer.
DevHlp_SetIRQMask 119 (77) Set/Unset an IRQ mask
DevHlp_GetIRQMask 120 (78) Get an IRQ mask

Virtual Device Driver Helps

The OS/2 kernel provides a new VDH service for VDDs to communicate with PSDs.
