Figure 4-38 Cache operations

In addition to the register c7 cache management functions in this processor, an Invalidate all
data caches
operation is provided as a c15 operation. For convenience, that c15 operation is also
described in this section.

Note

Writing c7 with a combination of CRm and Opcode_2 not listed in Figure 4-38 results in
an Undefined exception.

In this processor, reading from c7 causes an Undefined exception.

All accesses to c7 can only be executed in a Privileged mode of operation, except for the
Flush Prefetch Buffer, Data Synchronization Barrier, and Data Memory Barrier
operations. These can be performed in User mode. Attempting to execute a Privileged
instruction in User mode results in an Undefined exception.

This processor does not contain an address-based branch predictor array.

Invalidate and clean operations

The terms that describe the invalidate, clean, and prefetch operations are defined in the ARM
Architecture Reference Manual
.

You can perform invalidate and clean operations on:

single cache lines

entire caches.

Set and Way format

Figure 4-39 on page 4-56 shows the Set and Way format for invalidate and clean operations.
