Saving the Status During Interrupt Service
Before an interrupt request that has been arbitrated is actually serviced, the status of the
current task is automatically saved on the system stack. The CPU status (PSW) is saved
along with the location, where the execution of the interrupted task is to be resumed after
returning from the service routine. This return location is specified through the Instruction
Pointer (IP) and, in case of a segmented memory model, the Code Segment Pointer
(CSP). Bit SGTDIS in register SYSCON controls, how the return location is stored.
The system stack receives the PSW first, followed by the IP (unsegmented) or followed
by CSP and then IP (segmented mode). This optimizes the usage of the system stack,
if segmentation is disabled.
The CPU priority field (ILVL in PSW) is updated with the priority of the interrupt request
that is to be serviced, so the CPU now executes on the new level. If a multiplication or
division was in progress at the time the interrupt request was acknowledged, bit MULIP
in register PSW is set to ‘1’. In this case the return location that is saved on the stack is
not the next instruction in the instruction flow, but rather the multiply or divide instruction
itself, as this instruction has been interrupted and will be completed after returning from
the service routine.

The interrupt request flag of the source that is being serviced is cleared. The IP is loaded
with the vector associated with the requesting source (the CSP is cleared in case of
segmentation) and the first instruction of the service routine is fetched from the
respective vector location, which is expected to branch to the service routine itself. The
data page pointers and the context pointer are not affected.
When the interrupt service routine is left (RETI is executed), the status information is
popped from the system stack in the reverse order, taking into account the value of bit
SGTDIS.
