Coprocessors
5.2.10 Register 9 – Read-Buffer Operations
The read buffer is controlled and accessed through register 9 of coprocessor 15. The functions
supported are: flush-all buffers, flush-a-single entry, load-an-entry (1, 4 or 8 words), and
enable/disable user mode access.
The CRm and OPC_2 fields are used to encode these control operations. All other values for
OPC_2 and CRm are undefined and the results of using them are unpredictable.
See Chapter6, “Caches, Write Buffer, and Read Buffer” for details on the use and operation of the
read buffer.
5.2.11 Registers 10 – 12 RESERVED
Accessing any of these registers yields unpredictable results.
