DC CVAP, Data or unified Cache line Clean by VA to PoP

The DC CVAP characteristics are:

Purpose

Clean data cache by address to Point of Persistence.

If the memory system does not identify a Point of Persistence, then this instruction behaves as a DC CVAC.

Configuration

This instruction is present only when ARMv8.2-DCPoP is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to DC CVAP are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

DC CVAP is a 64-bit System instruction.

Field descriptions

The DC CVAP input value bit assignments are:

Bits [63:0]

Virtual address to use. No alignment restrictions apply to this VA.

When Morello is implemented and IsInC64():

Bits [128:0]

Capability to use. No alignment restrictions apply to this VA.

Executing the DC CVAP instruction

If EL0 access is enabled, when executed at EL0, this instruction requires read access permission to the VA, otherwise it generates a Permission Fault, see 'Permission fault'.

Execution of this instruction might require an address translation from VA to PA, and that translation might fault. For more information, see 'The data cache maintenance instruction (DC)'.

Accesses to this instruction use the following encodings:

DC CVAP, <Xt> // PSTATE.C64 == '0'
DC CVAP, <Ct> // PSTATE.C64 == '1'

if PSTATE.EL == EL0 then if !ELUsingAArch32(EL1) && !(EL2Enabled() && HCR_EL2.<E2H,TGE> == '11') && SCTLR_EL1.UCI == '0' then if EL2Enabled() && !ELUsingAArch32(EL2) && HCR_EL2.TGE == '1' then AArch64.SystemAccessTrap(EL2, 0x18); else AArch64.SystemAccessTrap(EL1, 0x18); elsif EL2Enabled() && !ELUsingAArch32(EL2) && HCR_EL2.<E2H,TGE> != '11' && HCR_EL2.TPCP == '1' then AArch64.SystemAccessTrap(EL2, 0x18); elsif EL2Enabled() && !ELUsingAArch32(EL2) && HCR_EL2.<E2H,TGE> == '11' && SCTLR_EL2.UCI == '0' then AArch64.SystemAccessTrap(EL2, 0x18); else DC_CVAP(C[t]); elsif PSTATE.EL == EL1 then if EL2Enabled() && !ELUsingAArch32(EL2) && HCR_EL2.TPCP == '1' then AArch64.SystemAccessTrap(EL2, 0x18); else DC_CVAP(C[t]); elsif PSTATE.EL == EL2 then DC_CVAP(C[t]); elsif PSTATE.EL == EL3 then DC_CVAP(C[t]);
