There are two ways... One is HAL dependent, but works on ARM:

/* This is the interrupt handler. It finds out the PC address before
   the interrupt and calls the increment. It then clears the interrupt
   and returns */
cyg_uint32 
prof_ISR(cyg_vector_t vector, cyg_addrword_t data, HAL_SavedRegisters *regs) {
 
  prof_do_ISR(regs->pc);
  
  prof_clear_timer_intr();
  cyg_interrupt_acknowledge(CYGNUM_HAL_INTERRUPT_TIMER_2);
 
  return (CYG_ISR_HANDLED);
}

It uses an undocument extra parameter to the ISR. Since this is
undocument, this feature may disappear, but its been there for over 3
years....

The second way is:

externC HAL_SavedRegisters *hal_saved_interrupt_state;

/* This is the interrupt handler. It finds out the PC address before
   the interrupt and calls the increment. It then clears the interrupt
   and returns */
cyg_uint32 
prof_ISR(cyg_vector_t vector, cyg_addrword_t data) {
 
  if ( hal_saved_interrupt_state )
  {
    /* Current instruction, not next */
    prof_do_ISR(hal_saved_interrupt_state->pc); 
  }
  cyg_interrupt_acknowledge(CYGNUM_HAL_INTERRUPT_TM1);
  return (CYG_ISR_HANDLED);
}

Im not sure of the documentation status of this....but it should work
for all HAL types ( i think. I've only used it in mips )

Look back in the mail archive. This has been discussed before.

Note that ARM increments the PC before servicing the ISR. So PC will
be 4 bytes after the instruction that got interrupted.
