Abstract
A system and method for establishing a passive recovery environment for an operating system kernel. A cross reference between an instruction address range and recovery routine address is established during binding of the kernel. Normal process initiation and termination includes no recovery overhead. In the case of system failure, the failing instruction address is used to access the recovery routine cross reference tables to determine recovery routine address. The error detection process then initiates recovery routine processing.
