Title: An apparatus and method for triggering action performance
Inventor: SIMON JOHN CRASKE
IPC: G06F11/36
Filed: 2018-05-31
Abstract: Memory access circuitry 705 retrieves a data value from a memory location 710 and action triggering circuitry 715 determines 715a whether the data value should be interpreted according to a first or second interpretation. If the second interpretation then it is further determined 715b whether the data value defines an action to be performed and if so then action triggering circuitry 715 triggers the performance 715c of the action. The action may be error mitigation which may involve signalling an exception and it may also involve returning a different data value from a different memory location and/or updating a diagnostic record. The action may involve determining that a processor attempting to write to the memory location is in a prohibited operating state, which may be a prohibited execution privilege level, and prohibiting the write. The action triggering circuitry 715 may determine the interpretation based on a control value associated with the memory location.
