@chapter Default Fatal Error Processing
@section Introduction
Upon detection of a fatal error by either the
application or RTEMS the fatal error manager is invoked. The
fatal error manager will invoke the user-supplied fatal error
handlers. If no user-supplied handlers are configured, the
RTEMS provided default fatal error handler is invoked. If the
user-supplied fatal error handlers return to the executive the
default fatal error handler is then invoked. This chapter
describes the precise operations of the default fatal error
handler.
@section Default Fatal Error Handler Operations
The default fatal error handler which is invoked by
the @code{rtems_fatal_error_occurred} directive when there is no user handler
configured or the user handler returns control to RTEMS. The
default fatal error handler performs the following actions:
@itemize @bullet
@item places the error code in r3, and
@item executes a trap instruction which results in a Program Exception.
@end itemize
If the Program Exception returns, then the following actions are performed:
@itemize @bullet
@item disables all processor exceptions by loading a 0 into the MSR, and
@item goes into an infinite loop to simulate a halt processor instruction.
@end itemize
