Detailed Description

Typedef Documentation

ppc_exc_handler_t

typedef int(* ppc_exc_handler_t) (BSP_Exception_frame *f, unsigned vector)

High-level exception handler type.

Return values

0	The exception was handled and normal execution may resume.
-1	Reject the exception resulting in a call of the global exception handler.
other	Reserved, do not use.

Enumeration Type Documentation

ppc_exc_category

enum ppc_exc_category

Exception categories.

Exceptions of different categories use different SRR registers to save the machine state and do different things in the prologue and epilogue.

For now, the CPU descriptions assume this fits into 8 bits.

Function Documentation

ppc_exc_alignment_handler()

int ppc_exc_alignment_handler	(	BSP_Exception_frame *	frame,
		unsigned	excNum
	)

Standard aligment handler.

Return values

0	Performed a dcbz instruction.
-1	Otherwise.

ppc_exc_handler_default()

int ppc_exc_handler_default	(	BSP_Exception_frame *	f,
		unsigned int	vector
	)

Default high-level exception handler.

Return values

-1

Always.

ppc_exc_initialize_with_vector_base()

void ppc_exc_initialize_with_vector_base	(	uintptr_t	interrupt_stack_begin,
		void *	vector_base
	)

Initializes the exception handling.

See also

ppc_exc_initialize().

ppc_exc_make_prologue()

rtems_status_code ppc_exc_make_prologue	(	unsigned	vector,
		void *	vector_base,
		ppc_exc_category	category,
		uint32_t *	prologue,
		size_t *	prologue_size
	)

Makes a minimal prologue for the vector vector with the category category.

The minimal prologue will be copied to prologue. Not more than prologue_size bytes will be copied. Returns the actual minimal prologue size in bytes in prologue_size.

Return values

RTEMS_SUCCESSFUL	Minimal prologue successfully made.
RTEMS_INVALID_ID	Invalid vector number.
RTEMS_INVALID_NUMBER	Invalid category.
RTEMS_INVALID_SIZE	Prologue size to small.

ppc_exc_set_handler()

rtems_status_code ppc_exc_set_handler	(	unsigned	vector,
		ppc_exc_handler_t	hdl
	)

Set high-level exception handler.

Hook C exception handlers.

• handlers for asynchronous exceptions run on the ISR stack with thread-dispatching disabled.
• handlers for synchronous exceptions run on the task stack with thread-dispatching enabled.

If a particular slot is NULL then the traditional 'globalExcHdl' is used.

ppc_exc_set_handler() registers a handler (returning 0 on success, -1 if the vector argument is too big).

It is legal to set a NULL handler. This leads to the globalExcHdl being called if an exception for 'vector' occurs.

Return values

RTEMS_SUCCESSFUL	Successful operation.
RTEMS_INVALID_ID	Invalid vector number.
RTEMS_RESOURCE_IN_USE	Handler table is read-only and handler does not match.

ppc_exc_vector_address()

void * ppc_exc_vector_address	(	unsigned	vector,
		void *	vector_base
	)

Returns the entry address of the vector.

Parameters

[in]	vector	The vector number.
[in]	vector_base	The vector table base address.

Variable Documentation

ppc_exc_cache_wb_check

uint32_t ppc_exc_cache_wb_check

extern

Cache write back check flag.

(See README under CAVEATS). During initialization a check is performed to assert that write-back caching is enabled for memory accesses. If a BSP runs entirely without any caching then it should set this variable to zero prior to initializing exceptions in order to skip the test. NOTE: The code does NOT support mapping memory with cache-attributes other than write-back (unless the entire cache is physically disabled)

ppc_exc_get_DAR

uint32_t(* ppc_exc_get_DAR) (void) ( void  )

extern

Function for DAR access.

CPU support may store the address of a function here that can be used by the default exception handler to obtain fault-address info which is helpful. Unfortunately, the SPR holding this information is not uniform across PPC families so we need assistance from CPU support

ppc_exc_msr_bits

uint32_t ppc_exc_msr_bits

extern

Bits for MSR update.

Bits in MSR that are enabled during execution of exception handlers / ISRs (on classic PPC these are DR/IR/RI [default], on bookE-style CPUs they should be set to 0 during initialization)

By default, the setting of these bits that is in effect when exception handling is initialized is used.
