Interruptions

Interruptions
are events that occur during instruction processing, causing the flow
control to be passed to an interruption handling routine. In the process, certain
processor state is saved automatically by the processor. Upon completion of
interruption processing, a return from interruption (
rfi
) is executed which restores the
saved processor state. Execution then proceeds with the interrupted instruction.
From the viewpoint of response to interruptions, the processor behaves as if it were not
pipelined. That is, it behaves as if a single Itanium instruction (along with its template)
is fetched and then executed; or as if a single IA-32 instruction is fetched and then
executed. Any interruption conditions raised by the execution of an instruction are
handled at execution time, in sequential instruction order. If there are no interruptions,
the next Itanium instruction and its template, or the next IA-32 instruction, are
fetched.
This chapter describes both the IA-32 and Itanium interruption mechanisms as well as
the interactions between them. The descriptions of the Itanium interruption vectors and
IA-32 exceptions, interruptions, and intercepts are in

Interruption Definitions
Depending on how an interruption is serviced, interruptions are divided into: IVA-based
interruptions and PAL-based interruptions.
•
IVA-based interruptions
are serviced by the operating system. IVA-based
interruptions are vectored to the Interruption Vector Table (IVT) pointed to by CR2,
the IVA control register (see
“IVA-based Interruption Vectors” on page 2:113
•
PAL-based interruptions
are serviced by PAL firmware, system firmware, and
possibly the operating system. PAL-based interruptions are vectored through a set
of hardware entry points directly into PAL firmware (see
Interruptions are divided into four types: Aborts, Interrupts, Faults, and Traps.
•
Aborts
A processor has detected a Machine Check (internal malfunction), or a processor
reset. Aborts can be either synchronous or asynchronous with respect to the
instruction stream. The abort may cause the processor to suspend the
instruction stream at an unpredictable location with partially updated register
or memory state. Aborts are PAL-based interruptions.
•
Machine Checks (MCA)
A processor has detected a hardware error which requires immediate action.
Based on the type and severity of the error the processor may be able to
recover from the error and continue execution. The PALE_CHECK entry point is
entered to attempt to correct the error.
•
Processor Reset (RESET)
A processor has been powered-on or a reset request has been sent to it. The
