Zusammenfassung:Embodiments include a computer system for temporary pipeline marking for processor error workarounds, the computer system having a processor configured to perform a method. The method includes monitoring a pipeline of the processor for an event that is predetermined to place the processor in a stuck state that results in an errant instruction execution result due to the stuck state or repeated resource contention causing performance degradation. The pipeline is marked for a workaround action based on detecting the event. A clearing action is triggered based on the marking of the pipeline. The marking of the pipeline is cleared based on the triggering of the clearing action.
