Pero las fallas SLB, tambi\u00e9n conocidas como interrupciones de segmento de datos, no establecen DSISR (registro de estado de interrupci\u00f3n de almacenamiento de datos) en un valor \u00fatil. Todas las versiones de ISA desde la v2.03 hasta la v3.1 especifican que la interrupci\u00f3n de segmento de datos establece DSISR \"en un valor indefinido\". Hasta donde puedo ver, tampoco se menciona que los fallos SLB establezcan DSISR en ning\u00fan contenido de BookIV. Esto se manifiesta como accesos que deber\u00edan ser de lectura que se informan incorrectamente como escrituras, por ejemplo, al usar el comando \"dump\" de xmon: 0:mon> d 0x5deadbeef0000000 5deadbeef0000000 [359526.415354][ C6] ERROR: No se puede manejar el acceso a los datos del kernel en escritura en 0x5deadbeef0000000 [359526.415611][ C6] Direcci\u00f3n de instrucci\u00f3n con fallas: 0xc00000000010a300 cpu 0x6: Vector: 380 (Data SLB Access) en [c00000000ffbf400] pc: c00000000010a300: mread+0x90/0x190 Si desmontamos la PC, vemos una instrucci\u00f3n de carga: 0:mon> di c00000000010a300 c00000000010a300 89490000 lbz r10,0(r9) Tambi\u00e9n podemos ver en exceptions-64s.S que el bloque data_access_slb no establece IDSISR=1, lo que significa que no carga DSISR en pt_regs. Por lo tanto, el valor que estamos usando para determinar si el error es de lectura/escritura es alg\u00fan valor obsoleto en pt_regs de un error de p\u00e1gina anterior. Reelabore la l\u00f3gica de impresi\u00f3n para separar el caso de error de SLB y solo imprima lectura/escritura en los casos en los que podamos determinarlo.
