11.3.2.1.1 Using Processor State Parameter to Determine if Software
Recovery of a Machine Check is Possible
The
us
,
ci, co, and sy
bits in the Processor State Parameter are valid only if the error
has not been previously corrected in hardware or firmware (
cm
bit is 0). Even then,
only the bit combinations shown in
are valid. If the multiple error bit is set
(
me
=1) both the
co
and
sy
bits must be 0. The
us
and
ci
bits will be set according to
the worst case of the errors that occurred.
11.3.2.2
Multiprocessor Rendezvous Requirements for Handling Machine
Checks
When PALE_CHECK has determined that an error has occurred which could cause a
multiprocessor system to lose error containment, it must rendezvous the other
processors in the system before proceeding with further processing of the machine
check. This is accomplished by branching to SALE_ENTRY with a non-zero return vector
address in GR19. It is then the responsibility of SAL to rendezvous the other processors
and return to PALE_CHECK through the address in GR19. If the rendezvous was
successful GR19 must be set to 0 before return.
At the time PALE_CHECK makes the rendezvous call to SALE_ENTRY, the processor
state is exactly the same as defined in
See “PALE_CHECK Exit State” on page 2:297.
with the following requirement on the use of registers by SAL:
Any processor state not listed below must be either unchanged or restored by SAL
before returning to PALE_CHECK.
• SAL will preserve the values in GR4-GR7 and GR17-GR18.
• SAL will return to PALE_CHECK via the address in GR19.
• SAL will set up GR19 to indicate the success of the rendezvous before returning to
PAL.
• GR19 is zero to indicate the rendezvous was successful.
• GR19 is non zero to indicate that the rendezvous was unsuccessful.
• All other non-banked (GR1-3, GR8-15), bank 0 GRs (GR20-GR31) and BR0 are
undefined and available for use by SAL.

the current instruction stream can be continued with no loss of information.
