1. A method for issuing dynamic issue masks for processor hang prevention, the method comprising: storing an instruction in an issue queue for execution by an execution unit; determining whether the instruction in the issue queue is likely to be rescinded by the execution unit; based on determining that the instruction is not likely to be rescinded by the execution unit, issuing the instruction to the execution unit with a default issue mask, wherein the default issue mask includes a default level of blocking; based on determining that the instruction is likely to be rescinded by the execution unit, issuing the instruction to the execution unit with a likely to be rescinded issue mask, wherein the likely to be rescinded issue mask includes a more restrictive level of blocking than the default level.
