In the case of an exception in user mode code, the operating system [c] parses the thread's _EXCEPTION_REGISTRATION_RECORD list and calls each exception handler in sequence until a handler signals it has handled the exception (by return value) or the list is exhausted.
The user will only see the blue screen if the system is not configured to automatically restart (which became the default setting in Windows XP SP2). Otherwise, it appears as though the system simply rebooted (though a blue screen may be visible briefly). In Windows, bug checks are only supported by the Windows NT kernel.
This involves writing a kernel mode driver that intercepts calls to the IDT and adds in its own processing. This has never been officially supported by Microsoft , but was not programmatically prevented on its operating systems until 64-bit versions of Windows, where a driver that attempts to use a kernel mode hook will cause the machine to bug ...
On the x86 computer architecture, a triple fault is a special kind of exception generated by the CPU when an exception occurs while the CPU is trying to invoke the double fault exception handler, which itself handles exceptions occurring while trying to invoke a regular exception handler.
mced [15] (mcedaemon) is a Linux program by Tim Hockin to gather MCEs from the kernel and alert interested applications. Note that it does not try to interpret the MCE data, it simply alerts other programs. mcat is a Windows command-line program from AMD to decode MCEs from AMD K8, Family 0x10 and 0x11 processors.
the segment selector in a call, interrupt or trap gate does not point to a code segment; violating privilege rules; enabling paging whilst disabling protection; referencing the interrupt descriptor table following an interrupt or exception that is not an interrupt, trap, or a task gate; Legacy SSE: Memory operand is not 16-byte aligned.
Typically, certain instructions are not permitted (especially those—including I/O operations—that could alter the global state of the machine), some memory areas cannot be accessed, etc. User-mode capabilities of the CPU are typically a subset of those available in kernel mode, but in some cases, such as hardware emulation of non-native ...
A Blue screen of death as displayed in Windows XP, Vista, and 7 A kernel panic as displayed in OS X Mountain Lion. An operating system crash commonly occurs when a hardware exception occurs that cannot be handled.
