Note –

TTE.IE

depends on the endianness of the ASI. When the ASI is 034

16

,

TTE.IE

= 0;

TTE.IE

= 1 when the ASI is 03C

16

.

Therefore, the atomic quad load physical instruction can only be applied to a
cacheable memory area. Semantically,

ASI_QUAD_LDD_PHYS{_L}

(034

16

and

03C

16

) is a combination of

ASI_NUCLEUS_QUAD_LDD

and

ASI_PHYS_USE_EC

.

With respect to little endian memory, a Load Quadword Atomic instruction behaves
as if it comprises two 64-bit loads, each of which is byte-swapped independently
before being written into its respective destination register.

Exceptions:

privileged_action
PA_watchpoint

(recognized on only the first 8 bytes of a transfer)

illegal_instruction

(misaligned

rd

)

mem_address_not_aligned
data_access_exception
data_access_error
fast_data_access_MMU_miss
fast_data_access_protection
