Abstract:
A method comprising:detecting an error; sending a rendezvous request from a processor abstraction layer to a system abstraction layer; sending an interrupt signal from the system abstraction layer to slave processors; sending a report status from, the slave processors to the system abstraction layer; sending a report status from the system abstraction layer to the processor abstraction layer; upon rendezvous status, attempting to correct the error by the processor abstraction layer and informing the system abstraction layer of success or failure in correcting the error; upon success by the processor abstraction layer, informing operating system of the correction; upon failure by the processor abstraction layer, attempting to correct the error by the system abstraction layer and informing the operating system of success or failure; upon success by the system abstraction layer, sending a wake up signal from the operating system to the slave processors; upon failure by the system abstraction layer, attempting to correct the earn by the operating system; upon success by the operating system, sending a wake up signal from the operating system to the slave processors; and upon failure by the operating system, initiating system reboot.
