test_status
–
An unsigned 32-bit-field providing additional information on test
failures when the
state
field returns a value of PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED or
FUNCTIONALLY RESTRICTED. The value returned is implementation dependent.
11.2.3
PAL Self-test Control Word
The PAL self-test control word is a 48-bit value. This bit field is defined in
.
•
test_control
–
This is an ordered implementation-specific control word that allows
the user control over the length and runtime of the processor self-tests. This control
word is ordered from the longest running tests up to the shortest running tests with
bit 0 controlling the longest running test.
PAL may not implement all 47-bits of the
test_control
word. PAL communicates if a
bit provides control by placing a zero in that bit. If a bit provides no control, PAL will
place a one in it.
PAL will have two sets of
test_control
bits for the two phases of the processor
self-test.
PAL provides information about implemented
test_control
bits at the hand-off from
PAL to SAL for the firmware recovery check. These
test_control
bits provide control
for phase one of processor self-test. It also provides this information via the PAL
procedure call PAL_TEST_INFO for both the phase one and phase two processor
tests depending on which information the caller is requesting.
PAL interprets these bits as input parameters on two occasions. The first time is
when SAL passes control back to PAL after the firmware recovery check. The
second time is when a call to PAL_TEST_PROC is made. When PAL interprets these
bits it will only interpret implemented
test_control
bits and will ignore the values
located in the unimplemented
test_control
bits.
PAL interprets the implemented bits such that if a bit contains a zero, this indicates
to run the test. If a bit contains a one, this indicates to PAL to skip the test.
If the
cs
bit indicates that control is not available, the
test_control
bits will be
ignored or generate an illegal argument in procedure calls if the caller sets these
bits.

cs
–
Control Support: This bit defines if an implementation supports control of the
PAL self-tests via the self-test control word. If this bit is 0, the implementation does
not support control of the processor self-tests via the self-test control word. If this
bit is 1, the implementation does support control of the processor self-tests via the
self-test control word.
If control is not supported, GR37 will be ignored at the hand-off between SAL and
PAL after the firmware recovery check and the PAL procedures related to the
processor self-tests may return illegal arguments if a user tries to use the self-test
control features.
