If an SVC or SMC instruction passes
its condition code check, the PTM upgrades the instruction to a
waypoint instruction and outputs the following trace:
A waypoint update packet, indicating the address
of the executed SVC or SMC instruction.
An exception branch address packet that identifies the SVC or SMC exception and gives the address of the exception vector.
If an SVC or SMC instruction fails
its condition code check, the PTM does not upgrade it to a waypoint
instruction.
