# HV_GIC_INT_MAINTENANCE

A register Hypervisor uses to signal virtual Interrupts (vIRQs) that the framework sends to guests running at exception level 2 (EL2).

```
var HV_GIC_INT_MAINTENANCE: hv_gic_intid_t { get }
```

## Discussion

For more information on maintenance interrupts, see *maintenance interrupts* in the [ARM Generic Interrupt Controller (GIC) v3](https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ihi0069/latest/) specification.
