RDASR/WRASR privileged status

 

See A.50 and A.70 in Commonality for details of implementation-dependent

 

RDASR/WRASR instructions.

 

10–12

Reserved.

 

13

VER.impl

20

 

VER.impl = 5 for the SPARC64 V processor.

 

14–15

Reserved.

16

IU deferred-trap queue

24

 

SPARC64 V neither has nor needs an IU deferred-trap queue.

17

Reserved.

18

Nonstandard IEEE 754-1985 results

18, 62

 

SPARC64 V flushes denormal operands and results to zero when

 

FSR.NS = 1. For the treatment of denormalized numbers, please refer to

 

Section B.6, Floating-Point Nonstandard Mode, on page 61 for details.

19

FPU version, FSR.ver

18

 

FSR.ver = 0 for SPARC64 V.

 

20–21

Reserved.

 

22

FPU TEM, cexc, and aexc

19

 

SPARC64 V implements all bits in the TEM, cexc, and aexc fields in

 

hardware.

 

23

Floating-point traps

24

In SPARC64 V floating-point traps are always precise; no FQ is needed.

24

FPU deferred-trap queue (FQ)

24

 

SPARC64 V neither has nor needs a floating-point deferred-trap queue.

 

25

RDPR of FQ with nonexistent FQ

24

 

Attempting to execute an RDPR of the FQ causes an illegal_instruction

 

 

exception.

 

26–28

Reserved.

29

Address space identifier (ASI) definitions

 

The ASIs that are supported by SPARC64 V are defined in Appendix L,

 

 

Address Space Identifiers.

 

30

ASI address decoding

117

 

SPARC64 V supports all of the listed ASIs.

 

31

Catastrophic error exceptions

138

 

SPARC64 V contains a watchdog timer that times out after no instruction

 

 

has been committed for a specified number of cycles. If the timer times out,

 

the CPU tries to invoke an async_data_error trap. If the counter continues to count to reach 233, the processor enters error_state. Upon an entry to error_state, the processor optionally generates a WDR reset to recover from error_state.
