Abstract

Embodiments of processors, methods, and systems for a processor core supporting a heterogenous system instruction set architecture are described. In an embodiment, a processor includes an instruction decoder and an exception generation circuit. The exception generation circuit is to, in response to the instruction decoder receiving an unsupported instruction, generate an exception and report an instruction classification value of the unsupported instruction.
