DESCRIPTION

The pfm_$enable_faults() call enables asynchronous faults after they have been inhibited by a call to pfm_$inhibit_faults(); pfm_$enable_faults() causes the operating system to pass asynchronous faults on to the calling process.

While faults are inhibited, the operating system holds at most one asynchronous fault. Consequently, when pfm_$enable_faults() returns, there can be at most one fault waiting on the process. If more than one fault was received between calls to pfm_$inhibit_faults() and pfm_$enable_faults(), the process receives the first asynchronous fault received while faults were inhibited.
