DCCSW: Data Cache line Clean by Set/Way

Purpose

Clean data or unified cache line by set/way.

Configuration

AArch32 System instruction DCCSW performs the same function as AArch64 System instruction DC CSW.

This instruction is present only when EL1 is capable of using AArch32. Otherwise, direct accesses to DCCSW are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

DCCSW is a 32-bit System instruction.

Field descriptions

313029282726252423222120191817161514131211109876543210
SetWayLevelRES0

SetWay, bits [31:4]

Contains two fields:

Bits[L-1:4] are RES0.

A = Log2(ASSOCIATIVITY), L = Log2(LINELEN), B = (L + S), S = Log2(NSETS).

ASSOCIATIVITY, LINELEN (line length, in bytes), and NSETS (number of sets) have their usual meanings and are the values for the cache level being operated on. The values of A and S are rounded up to the next integer.

Level, bits [3:1]

Cache level to operate on, minus 1. For example, this field is 0 for operations on L1 cache, or 1 for operations on L2 cache.

Bit [0]

Reserved, RES0.

Executing DCCSW

If this instruction is executed with a set, way or level argument that is larger than the value supported by the implementation then the behavior is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE and one of the following occurs:

Accesses to this instruction use the following encodings in the System instruction encoding space:

MCR{<c>}{<q>} <coproc>, {#}<opc1>, <Rt>, <CRn>, <CRm>{, {#}<opc2>}
