Abstract
Embodiment of this disclosure provides a mechanism to support hang detection and data recovery in microprocessor systems. In one embodiment, a processing device comprising a processing core and a crashlog unit operatively coupled to the core is provided. An indication of an unresponsive state in an execution of a pending instruction by the core is received. Responsive to receiving the indication, a crash log comprising data from registers of at least one of: a core region, a non-core region and a controller hub associated with the processing device is produced. Thereupon, the crash log is stored in a shared memory of a power management controller (PMC) associated with the controller hub.
