SPARC64 V Implementation Notes

Page

 

 

 

240

DCU Control Register bits 47:41

23

 

SPARC64 V uses bit 41 for WEAK_SPCA, which enables/disables memory

 

 

access in speculative paths.

 

241

Address Masking and DSFAR

 

SPARC64 V writes zeroes to the more significant 32 bits of DSFAR.

 

242

TLB lock bit

87

 

In SPARC64 V, only the fITLB and the fDTLB support the lock bit. The lock

 

 

bit in sITLB and sDTLB is read as 0 and writes to it are ignored.

 

243

Interrupt Vector Dispatch Status Register BUSY/NACK pairs

136

 

In SPARC64 V, 32 BUSY/NACK pairs are implemented in the Interrupt

 

 

Vector Dispatch Status Register.

 

244

Data Watchpoint Reliability

24

 

No implementation-dependent features of SPARC64 V reduce the reliability

 

 

of data watchpoints.

 

245

Call/Branch displacement encoding in I-Cache

24

 

In SPARC64 V, the least significant 11 bits (bits 10:0) of a CALL or branch

 

 

(BPcc, FBPfcc, Bicc, BPr) instruction in an instruction cache are identical

 

 

to the architectural encoding (as they appear in main memory).

 

246

VA<38:29> for Interrupt Vector Dispatch Register Access

136

 

SPARC64 V ignores all 10 bits of VA<38:29> when the Interrupt Vector

 

 

Dispatch Register is written.

 

247

Interrupt Vector Receive Register SID fields

136

 

SPARC64 V obtains the interrupt source identifier SID_L from the UPA

 

 

packet.

 

248

Conditions for fp_exception_other with unfinished_FPop

18

 

SPARC64 V triggers fp_exception_other with trap type unfinished_FPop

 

 

under the standard conditions described in Commonality Section 5.1.7.

 

249

Data watchpoint for Partial Store instruction

57

 

Watchpoint exceptions on Partial Store instructions occur conservatively on

 

 

SPARC64 V. The DCUCR Data Watchpoint masks are only checked for

 

 

nonzero value (watchpoint enabled). The byte store mask (r[rs2]) in the

 

 

Partial Store instruction is ignored, and a watchpoint exception can occur

 

 

even if the mask is zero (that is, no store will take place).

 

250

PCR accessibility when PSTATE.PRIV = 0

20, 22, 58

 

In SPARC64 V, the accessibility of PCR when PSTATE.PRIV = 0 is

 

 

determined by PCR.PRIV. If PSTATE.PRIV = 0 and PCR.PRIV = 1, an

 

 

attempt to execute either RDPCR or WRPCR will cause a privileged_action

 

 

exception. If PSTATE.PRIV = 0 and PCR.PRIV = 0, RDPCR operates without

 

 

privilege violation and WRPCR generates a privileged_action exception only

 

 

when an attempt is made to change (that is, write 1 to) PCR.PRIV.

 

251

Reserved.
