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: 

DevHlp_PerfSysTrace           EQU     69     ; 45 Record data in STRACE buffer.
DevHlp_SetIRQMask             EQU    119     ; 77 Set/Unset an IRQ mask
DevHlp_GetIRQMask             EQU    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.
