Note: The test and clean DCache instruction MRC p15, 0, r15, c7, c10, 3 is a special

 

encoding that uses r15 as a destination operand. The PC is not changed by

 

using this instruction, however. This MRC instruction also sets the condition

code flags.

 

If the cache contains any dirty lines, bit 30 is set to 0. If the cache contains no dirty lines, bit 30 is set to 1. Use the following loop to clean the entire cache:

tc_loop:

MRC p15, 0, r15, c7, c10, 3; test and clean

 

BNE tc_loop

The test, clean, and invalidate DCache instruction is the same as the test and clean DCache instruction except that when the entire cache has been cleaned, it is invalidated. Use the following loop to test, clean, and invalidate the entire DCache:

tci_loop:

MRC p15, 0, r15, c7, c14, 3; test clean and invalidate

 

BNE tci_loop

Register R8 is a write-only register that controls the translation lookaside buffer (TLB). There is a single TLB used to hold entries for both data and instructions. The TLB is divided into two parts:

Set-associative

Fully-associative

The fully-associativepart (also referred to as the lockdown part of the TLB) stores entries to be locked down. Entries held in the lockdown part of the register are preserved during an invalidate-TLB operation. Entries can be removed from the lockdown TLB using an invalidate TLB single entry operation.

TLB operations There are six TLB operations; the function to be performed is selected by the opcode_2 and CRm fields in the MCR instruction used to write register R8. Writing other opcode_2 or CRm values is UNPREDICTABLE. Reading from this register is

UNPREDICTABLE.
