FUNC
TR, B1, and B0 are set if the corresponding exception is pending when the bus error
exception is taken. Status regarding the faulted bus cycle is reflected in the LG, SIZ, and
FUNC fields.
The remainder of the stack contains the PC of the next unexecuted instruction, the current
SR, the address of the faulted memory location, and the contents of the data buffer that
was to be written to memory. This data is written on the stack in the format depicted in
Figure 5-15. When a released write fault exception handler executes, the machine will
complete the faulted write and then continue executing instructions wherever the PC
indicates.
5.5.3.1.2 Type II—Prefetch, Operand, RMW, and MOVEP Faults. The majority of bus
error exceptions are included in this category—all instruction prefetches, all operand
reads, all RMW cycles, and all operand accesses resulting from execution of MOVEP
(except the last write of a MOVEP Rn, ea or the last write of MOVEM, which are type I
faults). The TAS, MOVEP, and MOVEM instructions account for all operand writes not
considered released.
All type II faults cause an immediate exception that aborts the current instruction. Any
registers that were altered as the result of an EA calculation (i.e., postincrement or
predecrement) are restored prior to processing the bus cycle fault.

FUNC
The trace pending bit is always cleared, since the instruction will be restarted upon return
from the handler. Saving a pending exception on the stack causes a trace exception to be
taken prior to restarting the instruction. If the exception handler does not alter the stacked
SR trace bits, the trace is requeued when the instruction is started.
The breakpoint pending bits are stacked in the SSW, even though the instruction is
restarted upon return from the handler. This avoids problems with bus state analyzer
equipment that has been programmed to breakpoint only the first access to a specific
location or to count accesses to that location. If this response is not desired, the exception
handler can clear the bits before return. The RM, IN, RW, LG, FUNC, and SIZ fields all
reflect the type of bus cycle that caused the fault. If the bus cycle was an RMW, the RM bit
will be set, and the RW bit will show whether the fault was on a read or write.
