5.5.2.74 x86 Control Registers MSRs (CR1, CR2, CR3, CR4)

These are the standard x86 Control Registers CR1, CR2, CR3, and CR4. CR0 is located at MSR 00001420h (see Section
5.5.2.50 on page 149
). The contents of CR0-CR4 should only be accessed using the MOV instruction. They are mentioned
here for completeness only. See Section 5.4.1 “Control Registers” on page 95 for bit descriptions

RSVD (RO)

Reserved (Read Only).

17:16

DC_DSEL

Data QWORD Select. Determines which QWORD in a cache line is accessed by a read
or a write to DC_DATA_MSR (MSR 00001891h). DC_DSEL increments on accesses to
DC_DATA and resets to 0 on accesses to DC_TAG_MSR (MSR 00001892h) or
DC_TAG_I_MSR (MSR 00001893h).

15:11

RSVD (RO)

Reserved (Read Only).

10:4

DC_LINE

Cache Line Select. Forms the high 7 bits of a 9-bit counter. The DC_WAY field (bits
[1:0]) forms the low 2 bits of the counter. This field increments when DC_WAY overflows
on an access to DC_TAG_I_MSR (MSR 00001893h).

3:0

DC_WAY

Cache Way Select. Forms the low 2 bits of a 9-bit counter. The DC_LINE field (bits
[10:4]) forms the high 7 bits of the counter. This field post-increments on accesses to
DC_TAG_I_MSR (MSR 00001893h).
