Abstract
A processor circuit that includes a plurality of register circuits and an event handler circuit is disclosed. The event handler circuit may detect a processing event that causes the processor circuit to halt execution of a current instruction and transfer control to a kernel. In response to a detection of the processing event, the event handler circuit may store a program counter value corresponding to the current instruction, information indicative of a cause of the processing event, and a size of the current instruction in corresponding register circuits of the plurality of register circuits.
