In general, ESR bits are set to indicate the type of precise interrupt that occurred; other bits are
cleared. However, the machine check—instruction (ESR[MCI]) bit behaves differently. Because
instruction-side machine checks can occur without an interrupt being taken (if MSR[ME] = 0),
ESR[MCI] can be set even while other ESR-setting interrupts (program, data storage, DTLB-miss)
occurring. Thus, data storage and program interrupts leave ESR[MCI] unchanged, clear all other ESR
bits, and set the bits associated with any data storage or program interrupts that occurred. Enabled
instruction-side machine checks (MSR[ME] = 1) set ESR[MCI] and clear the data storage and
program interrupt bits.
If a machine check—instruction interrupt occurs but is disabled (MSR[ME] = 0), it sets ESR[MCI] but
leaves the data storage and program interrupt bits alone. If a machine check—instruction interrupt
occurs while MSR[ME] = 0,
and
the instruction upon which the machine check—instruction interrupt
is occurring also is some other kind of ESR-setting instruction (program, data storage, DTLB-miss, or
instruction storage interrupt), ESR[MCI] is set to indicate that a machine check—instruction interrupt
