I still don't understand why no information to debug. For example when
vio_idx 5, 10, 15 has violation,
You would mask vio_idx 5 to get information, but vio_idx 10, 15 does
not mask yet.
In your words, when vio_idx 10, 15 not mask, you would not get any
debug information when you process vio_idx 5.

In my version, I would clear all status, why keeps entering ISR?

Does 'handled' mean status is cleared?
