Platform Management Interrupt (PMI)
11.5.1
PMI Overview
PMI is an asynchronous interrupt that encapsulates a collection of platform-specific
interrupts. Platform Management Interrupts occur during instruction processing,
causing the flow of control to be passed to the PAL PMI handler. In the process, state is
saved in the interruption registers (IIP, IPSR) by the processor hardware and the
processor starts executing instructions at the PALE_PMI entrypoint. The PAL code will
save some additional state in the bank 0 registers. The PAL will either handle the PMI if
it is PAL related PMI or transition to the SAL PMI code if it is a SAL related PMI. Upon
completion of processing, the SAL PMI code returns to PAL PMI code to restore the
interrupted processor state and to resume execution at the interrupted instruction.
As shown in
, PMI code consists of two major components, namely the PAL
PMI handler which handles all processor-specific processing, and the SAL PMI handler
which handles all platform-related processing. The location of the PALE_PMI and
SALE_PMI handlers are programmable. The location of the PALE_PMI handler can be
programmed by the PAL_COPY_PAL procedure described on
. The SALE_PMI
handler can be programmed by the PAL_PMI_ENTRYPOINT procedure described on
. If a PMI is taken very early in the boot sequence before PAL has a chance
