Volume 2, Part 1: Processor Abstraction Layer
The assignment of indices for all architected procedures is controlled by this document.
The assignment of indices for implementation-specific procedures is controlled by the
specific processor for which the procedures are implemented. No
implementation-specific procedure calls are required for the correct operation of a
processor. No SAL or operating system code should ever have to call an
implementation-specific procedure call for normal activity. They are reserved for
diagnostic and bring-up software and the results of such calls may be unpredictable.
Architected procedures may be designated as required or optional. If a procedure is
designated as optional, a unique return code will be returned to indicate the procedure
is not present in this PAL implementation. It is the caller’s responsibility to check for
this return code after calling any optional PAL procedure
In addition to the calling conventions described below, PAL procedure calls may be
made in physical mode (PSR.it=0, PSR.rt=0, and PSR.dt=0) or virtual mode (PSR.it=1,
PSR.rt=1, and PSR.dt=1). All PAL procedures may be called in physical mode. Only
those procedures specified later in this chapter may be called in virtual mode. PAL
procedures written to support virtual mode, and the caller of PAL procedures written in
virtual mode must obey the restrictions documented in this chapter, otherwise the
results of such procedure calls may be unpredictable.
11.10.1 PAL Procedure Summary
The following tables summarize the PAL procedures by application area. Included are
the name of the procedure, the index of the procedure, the class of the procedure
(whether required or optional), the calling convention used for the procedure (static or
stacked), and whether the procedure can be called in physical mode only, virtual mode
only, or both physical and virtual modes.
On processor implementations with multiple logical processors in a physical processor
package, calling a certain PAL procedures may affect resources shared by the logical
processors. In the following tables, procedures that may affect resources on multiple
processors are marked next to the corresponding procedure names; procedures that
are not marked have no effects on other logical processors.
