Abstract
A shared translation look-aside buffer method comprises saving data stored in a first selected set of registers to a predetermined section of a thread-specific area in memory upon encountering an exception/interrupt, re-enabling exceptions and optionally interrupts, addressing a cause of the exception/interrupt while safely permitting another exception, and restoring the saved data to the first selected set of registers.
