System and method for monitoring unaligned memory accesses |
August 3, 2004 |
| A system monitors unaligned memory accesses by a processor of a computer system. The processor automatically generates a fault when attempting an unaligned memory access. Unaligned memory access faults are disabled in response to a fault generated by a first faulting instruction. The fir |
