FAULT HANDLING FOR ACCELERATOR-TRIGGERED MEMORY ACCESS REQUEST

原文（中文）

A hardware accelerator comprises accelerator processing circuitry to perform a delegated task on behalf of a processor; control interface circuitry to exchange control signals with the processor to configure the accelerator processing circuitry to perform the delegated task; fault status register storage to store fault status information, the fault status register storage being readable by the processor based on an accelerator register read request received from the processor via the control interface circuitry; and control circuitry to: detect a fault indication received from the processor via the control interface circuitry indicating that a faulting accelerator-triggered memory access request, issued via the control interface circuitry to the processor and specifying a target virtual address, has encountered an address translation fault; and in response to detecting the fault indication, set fault status information in the fault status register storage to indicate information about the faulting accelerator-triggered memory access request that encountered the address translation fault.
