R6: Fault Address register
Register R6 accesses the Fault Address register (FAR). The Fault Address register
contains the modified virtual address of the access attempted when a data abort
occurred. This register is updated only for data aborts, not for prefetch aborts; it is
updated also for alignment faults and external aborts that occur while the MMU is
disabled.
Use these instructions to access the Fault Address register:
MRC p15, 0, Rd, c6, c0, 0 ; read FAR
MCR p15, 0, Rd, c6, c0, 0 ; write FAR
Writing R6 sets the Fault Address register to the value of the data written. This is
useful for debugging, to restore the value of a Fault Address register to a previous
state.
The
CRm
and
opcode_2
fields
SHOULD BE ZERO
when reading or writing R6.
R7: Cache Operations register
Register R7 controls the caches and write buffer. The function of each cache
operation is selected by the
opcode_2
and
CRm
fields in the
MCR
instruction that writes
to CP15 R7. Writing other
opcode_2
or
CRm
values is
UNPREDICTABLE.
Reading from R7 is
UNPREDICTABLE
, with the exception of the two test and clean
operations (see Table 27, “R7: Cache operations,” on page 66 and "Test and clean
operations" on page 67).
Use this instruction to write to the Cache Operations register:
MCR p15, opcode_1, Rd, CRn, CRm, opcode_2
Table 26 describes the cache functions provided by register R7. Table 27 lists the
cache operation functions and associated data and instruction formats for R7.
