CE_INCOMED

The physical address of the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

doubleword with the error.

UE_RAW_L2$FILL

The physical address of the

UE_RAW_L2$INSD

The physical address of the

 

 

 

 

 

 

cache line (64-byte block) with

 

 

 

 

 

 

the error. The least significant 3

 

 

 

 

 

 

bits in the PA_BIT42_3 field

Always read as 0.

W

 

Any write access sets all fields in this register to 0. That is, when a program

 

 

 

 

writes to ASI_AFAR_U2, the entire ASI_AFAR_U2 is set to 0 regardless of the

 

 

 

 

write value; any error recorded in ASI_AFAR_U2 is expunged.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

P.7.4 Expected Software Handling of Restrainable Errors

Error recording and information is expected for all restrainable errors.

The expected software recovery from each type of each restrainable error is described below.

ASI_AFSR.DG_L1$U2$STLB — The following status for the CPU is reported:

Performance is degraded by the way reduction in I1$, D1$, U2$, sITLB, or sDTLB.

CPU availability may be slightly down. If only one way facility is available among I1$, D1$, U2$, sITLB, and sDTLB and further way reduction is detected for this facility, the error_state transition error is detected.

Software stops the use of the CPU, if required.

ASI_AFSR.CE_INCOMED — If ASI_AFAR_U2 contains CE_INCOMED information and the physical address of the error indicates the cacheable area, the following software sequence to correct the memory block is expected:

a. Make the U2 cache line with the CE detection dirty without changing the data. Use the CASA instruction to write that same data to the U2 cache line.
