.SH NAME
__sparc_utrap_install \- install a SPARC V9 user trap handler
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
#include <sys/utrap.h>

\fBint\fR \fB__sparc_utrap_install\fR(\fButrap_entry_t\fR \fItype\fR,
     \fButrap_handler_t\fR \fInew_precise\fR, \fButrap_handler_t\fR \fInew_deferred\fR,
     \fButrap_handler_t *\fR\fIold_precise\fR, \fButrap_handler_t *\fR\fIold_deferred\fR);
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fB__sparc_utrap_install()\fR function establishes \fInew_precise\fR and
\fInew_deferred\fR user trap handlers as the new values for the specified
\fItype\fR and returns the existing user trap handler values in
\fB*\fR\fIold_precise\fR and \fB*\fR\fIold_deferred\fR in a single atomic
operation. A new handler address of \fINULL\fR means no user handler of that
type will be installed. A new handler address of \fBUTH_NOCHANGE\fR means that
the user handler for that type should not be changed. An old handler pointer of
\fINULL\fR means that the user is not interested in the old handler address.
.sp
.LP
A \fIprecise trap\fR is caused by a specific instruction and occurs before any
program-visible state has been changed by this instruction. When a precise trap
occurs, the program counter (PC) saved in the Trap Program Counter (TPC)
register points to the instruction that induced the trap; all instructions
prior to this trapping instruction have been executed.  The next program
counter (nPC) saved in the Trap Next Program Counter (TnPC) register points to
the next instruction following the trapping instruction, which has not yet been
executed.  A \fIdeferred trap\fR is also caused by a particular instruction,
but unlike a precise trap, a deferred trap may occur after the program-visible
state has been changed.  See the \fISPARC Architecture Manual, Version 9\fR for
further information on precise and deferred traps.
.sp
.LP
The list that follows contains hardware traps and their corresponding user trap
types. User trap types marked with a plus-sign (\fB+\fR) are required and must
be provided by all ABI-conforming implementations.  The others may not be
present on every implementation; an attempt to install a user trap handler for
those conditions will return \fBEINVAL\fR. User trap types marked with an
asterisk (\fB*\fR) are implemented as precise traps only.

.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBUT_FP_DISABLED\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
This trap is raised when an application issues a floating point instruction
(including load or store) and the SPARC V9 Floating Point Registers State
(FPRS) FEF bit is 0. If a user handler is installed for this trap, it will be
given control. Otherwise the system will set FEF to one and retry the
instruction.
.RE

.sp
.LP
For all traps, the handler executes in a new register window, where the
\fIin\fR registers are the \fIout\fR registers of the previous frame and have
the value they contained at the time of the trap, similar to a normal
subroutine call after the \fBsave\fR instruction. The \fIglobal\fR registers
(including the special registers \fB%ccr\fR, \fB%asi\fR, and \fB%y\fR) and the
\fIfloating-point\fR registers have their values from the time of the trap. The
stack pointer register \fB%sp\fR plus the BIAS will point to a properly-aligned
128-byte register save area; if the handler needs scratch space, it should
decrement the stack pointer to obtain it. If the handler needs access to the
previous frame's \fIin\fR registers or \fIlocal\fR registers, it should execute
a \fBFLUSHW\fR instruction, and then access them off of the frame pointer. If
the handler calls an ABI-conforming function, it must set the \fB%asi\fR
register to \fBASI_PRIMARY_NOFAULT\fR before the call.
.sp
.LP
On entry to a precise user trap handler  \fB%l6\fR contains the \fB%pc\fR and
\fB%l7\fR contains the \fB%npc\fR at the time of the trap.  To return from a
handler and reexecute the trapped instruction, the handler would execute:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
jmpl %l6, %g0 ! Trapped PC supplied to user trap handler
return %l7    ! Trapped nPC supplied to user trap handler
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
To return from a handler and skip the trapped instruction, the handler would
execute:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
jmpl %l7, %g0 ! Trapped nPC supplied to user trap handler
return %l7 + 4 ! Trapped nPC + 4
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
On entry to a deferred trap handler \fB%o0\fR contains the address of the
instruction that caused the trap and \fB%o1\fR contains the actual instruction
(right-justified, zero-extended), if the information is available. Otherwise
\fB%o0\fR contains the value \(mi1 and \fB%o1\fR is undefined.  Additional
information may be made available for certain cases of deferred traps, as
indicated in the following table.

if (precise trap) {
      if (precise_handler) {
           invoke(precise_handler);
           /* not reached */

           convert_to_signal(precise_trap);

      invoke(deferred_handler);
           /* not reached */
      } else {

      }
 }
 if (signal)
           send(signal);

User trap handlers must preserve all registers except the \fIlocals\fR
(\fB%l0-7\fR) and the \fIouts\fR (\fB%o0-7\fR), that is, \fB%i0-7\fR,
\fB%g1-7\fR, \fB%d0-d62\fR, \fB%asi\fR, \fB%fsr\fR, \fB%fprs\fR, \fB%ccr\fR,
and \fB%y,\fR except to the extent that modifying the registers is part of the
desired functionality of the handler. For example, the handler for
\fBUT_FP_DISABLED\fR may load floating-point registers.
.SH RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion, \fB0\fR is returned. Otherwise, a non-zero value is
returned and \fBerrno\fR is set to indicate the error.

The \fB__sparc_utrap_install()\fR function will fail if:

The \fItype\fR argument is not a supported user trap type; the new user trap
handler address is not word aligned; the old user trap handler address cannot
be returned; or the user program is not a 64-bit executable.

.SH EXAMPLES

\fBExample 1 \fRA sample program using the \fB__sparc_utrap_install()\fR
function.
.sp
.LP
The \fB__sparc_utrap_install()\fR function is normally used by user programs
that wish to provide their own tailored exception handlers as a faster
alternative to \fBsignal\fR(3C), or to handle exceptions that are not directly
supported by the \fBsignal()\fR interface, such as \fBfp_disabled\fR.

This example turns on bit 2, FEF, in the Floating-Point Registers State (FPRS)
Register, after a floating-point instruction causes an \fBfp_disabled\fR trap.
(Note that this example simulates part of the default system behavior; programs
do not need such a handler. The example is for illustrative purposes only.)

The Exceptions and Interrupt Descriptions section of the SPARC V9 manual
documents which hardware traps are mandatory or optional, and whether they can
be implemented as precise or deferred traps, or both.  The manufacturer's
processor chip user manuals describe the details of the traps supported for the
specific processor implementation.
