Access instructions

Use the Process ID register to determine the process that is currently running. The process identifier is set to 0 at reset.

Addresses issued by the ARM926EJ-S core, in the range 0 to 32 MB, are translated according to the value contained in the FCSE PID register. Address A becomes

A + (FCSE PID x 32 MB); it is this modified address that the MMU and caches see. Addresses above 32 MB are not modified. The FCSE PID is a 7-bit field, which allows 128 x 32 MB processes to be mapped.

If the FCSE PID is 0, there is a flat mapping between the virtual addresses output by the ARM926EJ-S core and the modified virtual addresses used by the caches and MMU. The FCSE PID is set to 0 at system reset.

If the MMU is disabled, there is no FCSE address translation.

FCSE translation is not applied for addresses used for entry-based cache or TLB maintenance operations. For these operations, VA=MVA.

Performing a fast context switch

You can perform a fast context switch by writing to the Process ID register (R13) with opcode_2 set to 0. The contents of the caches and the TLB do not have to be flushed after a fast context switch because they still hold address tags. The two instructions after the FCSE PID has been written have been fetched with the old FCSE PID, as shown in this code example:

{FCSE PID = 0}

 

MOV r0, #1:SHL:25

;Fetched with FCSE PID = 0

MCR p15,0,r0,c13,c0,0

;Fetched with FCSE PID = 0
