SPARC64 V Implementation Notes

Page

 

 

 

206

SHUTDOWN instruction

58

 

In privileged mode the SHUTDOWN instruction executes as a NOP in

 

 

SPARC64 V.

 

207

PCR register bits 47:32, 26:17, and bit 3

20, 21,

 

SPARC64 V uses these bits for the following purposes:

201

 

• Bits 47:32 for set/clear/show status of overflow (OVF).

 

• Bit 26 for validity of OVF field (OVRO).

• Bits 24:22 for number of counter pair (NC).

• Bits 20:18 for counter selector (SC).

• Bit 3 for validity of SU/SL field (ULRO).

Other implementation-dependent bits are read as 0 and writes to them are ignored.

208

Ordering of errors captured in instruction execution

 

The order in which errors are captured during instruction execution is

 

 

implementation dependent. Ordering can be in program order or in order of

 

 

detection.

 

209

Software intervention after instruction-induced error

 

Precision of the trap to signal an instruction-induced error for which

 

 

recovery requires software intervention is implementation dependent.

 

210

ERROR output signal

 

The causes and the semantics of ERROR output signal are implementation

 

 

dependent.

 

211

Error logging registers’ information

 

The information that the error logging registers preserves beyond the reset

 

 

induced by an ERROR signal is implementation dependent.

 

212

Trap with fatal error

 

Generation of a trap along with ERROR signal assertion upon detection of a

 

 

fatal error is implementation dependent.

 

213

AFSR.PRIV

 

SPARC64 V does not implement the AFSR.PRIV bit.

 

214

Enable/disable control for deferred traps

 

SPARC64 V does not implement a control feature for deferred traps.

 

215

Error barrier

 

DONE and RETRY instructions may implicitly provide an error barrier

 

 

function as MEMBAR #Sync. Whether DONE and RETRY instructions provide

 

 

an error barrier is implementation dependent.

 

216

data_access_error trap precision

 

data_access_error trap is always precise in SPARC64 V.

 

217

instruction_access_error trap precision

 

instruction_access_error trap is always precise in SPARC64 V.
