What is RISC-V Exception Handling Overview about?

The document discusses how exceptions are handled in the RISC-V architecture. When an exception occurs, the processor saves the address of the faulty instruction in the SEPC register and transfers control to the operating system at a predefined address. The operating system then handles the exception by taking appropriate action. The RISC-V architecture uses a status register called SCAUSE to indicate the reason for the exception. Pipelined implementations treat exceptions as control hazards and flush instr
