Release 1.0, 1 July 2002 F. Chapter P Error Handling 153
■
Degradation
SPARC64 V can isolate an internal hardware resource that generates frequent
errors and continue processing without deleterious effect on software during
program execution. However, performance is degraded by the resource isolation.
This degradation is reported as a restrainable error.
The restrainable error can be reported to privileged software by the
ECC_error
trap.
When PSTATE.IE = 1 and the trap enable mask for any restrainable error is 1, the
ECC_error
exception is generated for the restrainable error.
P.2 Action and Error Control
P.2.1 Registers Related to Error Handling
The following registers are related to the error handling.
■
ASI registers: Indicate an error. All ASI registers in
TABLE P-1
except ASI_EIDR
and ASI_ERROR_CONTROL are used to specify the nature of an error to privileged
software.
■
ASI_ERROR_CONTROL: Controls error action. This register designates error
detection masks and error trap enable masks.
■
ASI_EIDR: Marks errors. This register identifies the error source ID for error
marking.
TABLE P-1
lists the registers related to error handling.
