20 * We use a two-level table approach. The user and kernel exception vectors
21 * use a first-level dispatch table to dispatch the exception to a registered
22 * fast handler or the default handler, if no fast handler was registered.
23 * The default handler sets up a C-stack and dispatches the exception to a
24 * registerd C handler in the second-level dispatch table.
26 * Fast handler entry condition:
28 * a0: trashed, original value saved on stack (PT_AREG0)
30 * a2: new stack pointer, original value in depc
32 * depc: a2, original value saved on stack (PT_DEPC)
35 * The value for PT_DEPC saved to stack also functions as a boolean to
36 * indicate that the exception is either a double or a regular exception:
38 * PT_DEPC >= VALID_DOUBLE_EXCEPTION_ADDRESS: double exception
39 * < VALID_DOUBLE_EXCEPTION_ADDRESS: regular exception
41 * Note: Neither the kernel nor the user exception handler generate literals.

60 * User exception vector. (Exceptions with PS.UM == 1, PS.EXCM == 0)
62 * We get here when an exception occurred while we were in userland.
63 * We switch to the kernel stack and jump to the first level handler
64 * associated to the exception cause.
66 * Note: the saved kernel stack pointer (EXC_TABLE_KSTK) is already
67 * decremented by PT_USER_SIZE.

110 * Double exception vector (Exceptions with PS.EXCM == 1)
111 * We get this exception when another exception occurs while were are
112 * already in an exception, such as window overflow/underflow exception,
113 * or 'expected' exceptions, for example memory exception when we were trying
114 * to read data from an invalid address in user space.
116 * Note that this vector is never invoked for level-1 interrupts, because such
117 * interrupts are disabled (masked) when PS.EXCM is set.
119 * We decode the exception and take the appropriate action. However, the
120 * double exception vector is much more careful, because a lot more error
121 * cases go through the double exception vector than through the user and
122 * kernel exception vectors.
124 * Occasionally, the kernel expects a double exception to occur. This usually
125 * happens when accessing user-space memory with the user's permissions
126 * (l32e/s32e instructions). The kernel state, though, is not always suitable
127 * for immediate transfer of control to handle_double, where "normal" exception
128 * processing occurs. Also in kernel mode, TLB misses can occur if accessing
129 * vmalloc memory, possibly requiring repair in a double exception handler.
131 * The variable at TABLE_FIXUP offset from the pointer in EXCSAVE_1 doubles as
132 * a boolean variable and a pointer to a fixup routine. If the variable
133 * EXC_TABLE_FIXUP is non-zero, this handler jumps to that address. A value of
134 * zero indicates to use the default kernel/user exception handler.
135 * There is only one exception, when the value is identical to the exc_table
136 * label, the kernel is in trouble. This mechanism is used to protect critical
137 * sections, mainly when the handler writes to the stack to assert the stack
138 * pointer is valid. Once the fixup/default handler leaves that area, the
139 * EXC_TABLE_FIXUP variable is reset to the fixup handler or zero.
141 * Procedures wishing to use this mechanism should set EXC_TABLE_FIXUP to the
142 * nonzero address of a fixup routine before it could cause a double exception
143 * and reset it before it returns.
145 * Some other things to take care of when a fast exception handler doesn't
146 * specify a particular fixup handler but wants to use the default handlers:
148 * - The original stack pointer (in a1) must not be modified. The fast
149 * exception handler should only use a2 as the stack pointer.
151 * - If the fast handler manipulates the stack pointer (in a2), it has to
152 * register a valid fixup handler and cannot use the default handlers.
154 * - The handler can use any other generic register from a3 to a15, but it
155 * must save the content of these registers to stack (PT_AREG3...PT_AREGx)
157 * - These registers must be saved before a double exception can occur.
159 * - If we ever implement handling signals while in double exceptions, the
160 * number of registers a fast handler has saved (excluding a0 and a1) must
161 * be written to PT_AREG1. (1 if only a3 is used, 2 for a3 and a4, etc. )
163 * The fixup handlers are special handlers:
165 * - Fixup entry conditions differ from regular exceptions:
169 * a2: trashed, original value in EXC_TABLE_DOUBLE_A2
174 * - When the kernel enters the fixup handler, it still assumes it is in a
175 * critical section, so EXC_TABLE_FIXUP variable is set to exc_table.
176 * The fixup handler, therefore, has to re-register itself as the fixup
177 * handler before it returns from the double exception.
179 * - Fixup handler can share the same exception frame with the fast handler.
180 * The kernel stack pointer is not changed when entering the fixup handler.
182 * - Fixup handlers can jump to the default kernel and user exception
183 * handlers. Before it jumps, though, it has to setup a exception frame
184 * on stack. Because the default handler resets the register fixup handler
185 * the fixup handler must make sure that the default handler returns to
186 * it instead of the exception address, so it can re-register itself as
189 * In case of a critical condition where the kernel cannot recover, we jump
190 * to unrecoverable_exception with the following entry conditions.
191 * All registers a0...a15 are unchanged from the last exception, except:
193 * a0: last address before we jumped to the unrecoverable_exception.
197 * See the handle_alloca_user and spill_registers routines for example clients.
199 * FIXME: Note: we currently don't allow signal handling coming from a double
200 * exception, so the item markt with (*) is not required.
