3. The processor saves the current context by creating an exception stack frame on the system stack.
The exception stack frame is created at a 0-modulo-4 address on top of the system stack pointed to
by the supervisor stack pointer (SSP). As shown in
, the processor uses a simplified
fixed-length stack frame for all exceptions. The exception type determines whether the program
counter placed in the exception stack frame defines the location of the faulting instruction (fault)
or the address of the next instruction to be executed (next).
4. The processor calculates the address of the first instruction of the exception handler. By definition,
the exception vector table is aligned on a 1 MB boundary. This instruction address is generated by
fetching an exception vector from the table located at the address defined in the vector base register.
The index into the exception table is calculated as (4
×
vector number). After the exception vector
has been fetched, the vector contents determine the address of the first instruction of the desired
handler. After the instruction fetch for the first opcode of the handler has initiated, exception
processing terminates and normal instruction processing continues in the handler.
The table contains 256 exception vectors; the first 64 are defined for the core and the remaining 192 are
device-specific peripheral interrupt vectors. See
Chapter 15, “Interrupt Controller Module”
for details on
the device-specific interrupt sources.
