Maskable interrupt irq is a hardware interrupt that may be ignored by setting a bit in an interrupt mask registers imr bitmask. A software interrupt is invoked by software, unlike a hardware interrupt, and is considered one of the ways to communicate with the kernel or to invoke. The cpu knows which interrupt to handle first because there are a hierarchy of interrupts. A software interrupt is a type of interrupt that is caused either by a special instruction in the instruction set or by an exceptional condition in the processor itself.
