5.3.7 Dstream TB Address Space Number Registers 0 and 1 – DTB_ASN0,1

The Dstream translation buffer address space number registers (DTB_ASN0 and DTB_ASN1) are write-only registers that should be written with the address space number (ASN) of the current process. Figure 5–30shows the Dstream translation buffer address space number registers 0 and 1.

5.3.8 Memory Management Status Register – MM_STAT

The memory management status register (MM_STAT) is a read-only register. When a Dstream TB miss or fault occurs, information about the error is latched in MM_STAT. MM_STAT is not updated when a LD_VPTE gets a DTB miss instruction. Figure 5–31shows the memory management status register.

DC_TAG_PERR

[10]

RO

This bit is set when a Dcache tag parity error occurred during the

 

 

 

initial tag probe of a load or store instruction. The error created a

 

 

 

synchronous fault to the D_FAULT PALcode entry point and is

 

 

 

correctable. The virtual address associated with the error is avail-

 

 

 

able in the VA register.

OPCODE[5:0]

RO

Opcode of the instruction that caused the error.

 

 

 

HW_LD is displayed as 3 and HW_ST is displayed as 7.

RO

This bit is set when a fault-on-write error occurs during a write

 

 

 

transaction and PTE[FOW] was set.
