Instruction Fetch Exceptions
0 ISI Instruction storage exception
Instruction Dispatch/Execution Exceptions
0 IABR Instruction address breakpoint exception
1PI
Program exception due to:
1. Illegal instruction
2. Privileged instruction
3. Trap
2SCSystem call
3 FPA Floating-point unavailable exception
4 PI Program exception due to floating-point enabled exception
5DSI
Data-storage exception due to eciwx, ecowx with the enable bit of the External Access Reg-
ister cleared (EAR[E] = 0) (bit 11 of DSISR)
6 Alignment
Alignment exception due to:
• Floating point not word aligned
• lmw, stmw, lwarx, or stwcx not word-aligned
• Either eciwx or ecowx not word-aligned
• Multiple or string access with the little-endian bit set.
• dcbz to write-through or cache-inhibited page or cache is disabled.
7 DSI Data-storage exception due to a block-address-translation (BAT) page-protection violation
8DSI
Data-storage exception due to:
• Any access except cache operations to a segment where SR[T] = 1
• An access that crosses from an SR[T] = 0 segment to an SR[T} = 1 segment
These exceptions are indicated by DSISR[5] = 1.
9 DSI Data-storage exception due to a translation lookaside buffer (TLB) page-protection violation
10 DSI Data-storage exception due to a Data Address Breakpoint Register (DABR) address match
Post Instruction Execution Exceptions
11 Trace
Trace exception due to:
MSR[SE] = 1 or (MSR[BE] = 1 for branches
1. Even though DSISR(5) and DSISR(11) are set by different priority exceptions, both bits can be set at the same time.
