A double fault is a fault that occurs when a CPU is trying to call an exception handler.true or false? |
|
Answer» The answer is False. Explanation:A double fault is a unique exception that occurs when the CPU is unable to invoke an exception handler. The double fault, for EXAMPLE, occurs if a page fault is caused without ACTUAL registration of a page fault handler in the INTERRUPT Descriptor (IDT). It is similar to catch-all blocks in PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES with exceptions. A double fault exception occurs if the processor runs into a problem while trying to service or act upon a pending interrupt or exception. |
