to register its PALE_PMI entrypoint, processor operation is undefined. If a SAL related
PMI is seen before the SAL PMI handler is registered, the PAL PMI code will just return
to the interrupted context
The hardware events that can cause the PMI request are referred to as PMI events. PMI
events are asynchronous interrupts higher priority than all external interrupts and are
only maskable when the system software is processing very critical tasks with
PSR.ic=0. When PSR.ic is 1, PMI events are unmasked. PSR.i has no effect on PMI
events. All PMI events are internally latched into an array of implementation-specific
latches in the processor. The PAL PMI handler reads the latches to determine what PMI
vector requests are pending and dispatches them in priority order.
lists the
PMI events and their priority.
PMI messages can be delivered by an external interrupt controller, or as an
inter-processor interrupt using delivery mode 010.
shows the PMI message
vector assignments. Vectors 4-15 are reserved for PAL, and within these PAL vectors, a
higher vector number has higher priority. Vectors 1-3 are available for SAL to use, and
within these SAL vectors, a higher vector number has higher priority. A PMI pin event,
when the PMI pin
1
is present, is indicated by vector 0. The PMI vector number is passed
to the SAL PMI handler in GR 24.
