This was fine if the kernel was entered via a mechanism that generated a normal interrupt stack frame, such as a system call or a timer interrupt or a device interrupt. When the kernel was entered via a bus error due to a page fault, then the stack frame was that special extended frame, with all the internal processor state in it.

Since the 500 samples per second was driven by a hardware timer interrupt, we needed that to not be masked out. So with every release of the OS, I had the job of locating all the places that the interrupt masking took place in the OS and changing the instruction so that it wouldn't mask the timer interrupt. This required a careful audit of the OS's use of the timer interrupt to be sure that we weren't exposing an inadvertent race condition.

Quote Examples using Timer

Set a timer. 10 or 15 minutes. Work on the task. Do not worry about the end result, or getting to a "good stopping point" or anything. When the timer stops, stop working on the task. Play another game or watch another YouTube video or something. When you feel like it, set the timer again and repeat. The trick is that if you aren't worried about finishing the task you want to do, you can do the work without that feeling of discomfort and dread that makes you want to stop and distract yourself with something else. The first time I did this technique, it was actually with dirty dishes and not work. I used to let them pile up because I just couldn't deal with it.
