38 SPARC JPS1 Implementation Supplement: Fujitsu SPARC64 V • Release 1.0, 1 July 2002
7.3 Trap Control
Please refer to Section 7.3 of Commonality.
7.3.1 PIL Control
SPARC64 V receives external interrupts from the UPA interconnect. They cause an
interrupt_vector_trap
(TT =60
16
). The interrupt vector trap handler reads the interrupt
information and then schedules SPARC V9-compatible interrupts by writing bits in
the SOFTINT register. Please refer to Section 5.2.11 of Commonality for details.
During handling of SPARC V9-compatible interrupts by SPARC64 V, the PIL
register is checked. If an interrupt has sufficient priority, SPARC64 V will stop
issuing new instructions, will flush all uncommitted instructions, and then will
vector to the trap handler. The only exception to this process occurs when
SPARC64 V is processing a higher-priority trap.
SPARC64 V takes a normal disrupting trap upon receipt of an interrupt request.
7.4 Trap-Table Entry Addresses
Please refer to Section 7.4 of Commonality.
7.4.2 Trap Type (TT)
Please refer to Section 7.4.2 of Commonality.
