Mark True or False for the Following Questions Hardware interrupts are used by devices to signal the OS that an operation, such as reading from a disk, is complete. The interrupt controller uses interrupt masks to manage multiple interrupt requests and ensures that only one interrupt is processed at a time. The interrupt controller sends the IRQ# to the CPU via the Bus so that it can be treated. Precise interrupts are treated after the current instruction is completed and before the next instruction begins, while imprecise interrupts may interrupt the execution of ongoing instructions. When servicing an interrupt, the CPU does not enter kernel mode; instead, it continues executing the current user-space instruction until the interrupt is finished.
