If a prefixed instruction results in an alignment exception, the SRR1_PREFIXED bit is set. The handler attempts to emulate the responsible instruction and then increment the NIP past it. Use SRR1_PREFIXED to determine by how much the NIP should be incremented. Prefixed instructions are not permitted to cross 64-byte boundaries. If they do the alignment interrupt is invoked with SRR1 BOUNDARY bit set. If this occurs send a SIGBUS to the offending process if in user mode. If in kernel mode call bad_page_fault().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
