Digital UNIX

The following sections specifiy the Privileged Architecture Library (PALcode) instructions that are required to support a Digital UNIX system.

10.1 Unprivileged Digital UNIX PALcode

Table 10–1describes the unprivileged Digital UNIX PALcode instructions.

Table 10–1 : Unprivileged Digital UNIX PALcode Instruction Summary

Mnemonic	Operation and Description

bpt	Break point trap
	The bpt instruction switches mode to kernel, builds a stack frame on the kernel
	stack, and dispatches to the breakpoint code.
bugchk	Bugcheck
	The bugchk instruction switches mode to kernel, builds a stack frame on the
	kernel stack, and dispatches to the breakpoint code.
callsys	System call
	The callsys instruction switches mode to kernel, builds a callsys stack frame,
	and dispatches to the system call code.
clrfen	Clear floating-point enable
	The clrfen instruction writes a zero to the floating-point enable register.
gentrap	Generate trap
	The gentrap instruction switches mode to kernel, builds a stack frame on the
	kernel stack, and dispatches to the gentrap code.
imb	I-stream memory barrier
	The imb instruction makes the I-cache coherent with main memory.
