Figure 4.4 Trap arrangement

There are four groups of traps, as detailed below.

•

Breakpoint

This group consists of the

Breakpoint trap. The breakpoint instruction (j0) calls the break-

point routine via the trap mechanism.

•

Errors

The traps in this group are

IntegerError and Overﬂow. Overﬂow represents arithmetic over-

ﬂow, such as arithmetic results which do not ﬁt in the result word.

IntegerError represents

errors caused when data is erroneous, for example when a range checking instruction ﬁnds

that data is out of range.

•

System operations

This group consists of the

LoadTrap, StoreTrap and IllegalOpcode traps. The IllegalOpcode

trap is signalled when an attempt is made to execute an illegal instruction. The

LoadTrap

and

StoreTrap traps allow a kernel to intercept attempts by a monitored process to change

or examine trap handlers or trapped process information. It enables a user program to sig-

nal to a kernel that it wishes to install a new trap handler.

•

Scheduler

The scheduler trap group consists of the

ExternalChannel, InternalChannel, Timer,

TimeSlice, Run, Signal, ProcessInterrupt and QueueEmpty traps. The ProcessInterrupt

trap signals that the machine has performed a priority interrupt from low to high. The

QueueEmpty trap indicates that there is no further executable work to perform. The other

traps in this group indicate that the hardware scheduler wants to schedule a process on a

process queue, with the different traps enabling the different sources of this to be moni-

tored.

The scheduler traps enable a software scheduler kernel to use the hardware scheduler to

implement a multi-priority software scheduler.

Note that scheduler traps are different from other traps as they are caused by the micro-

scheduler rather than by an executing process.

Trap groups encoding is shown in Table 4.3 below. These codes are used to identify trap groups to

various instructions.
