DCZID_EL0: Data Cache Zero ID Register

Purpose

Indicates the block size that is written with byte values of 0 by the DC ZVA (Data Cache Zero by Address) System instruction.

If FEAT_MTE is implemented, this register also indicates the granularity at which the DC GVA and DC GZVA instructions write.

Configuration

There are no configuration notes.

Attributes

DCZID_EL0 is a 64-bit register.

Bits [63:5]

Reserved, RES0.

DZP, bit [4]

Data Zero Prohibited. This field indicates whether use of DC ZVA instructions is permitted or prohibited.

If FEAT_MTE is implemented, this field also indicates whether use of the DC GVA and DC GZVA instructions are permitted or prohibited.

DZPMeaning

Instructions are permitted.

0b1

Instructions are prohibited.

The value read from this field is governed by the access state and the values of the HCR_EL2.TDZ and SCTLR_EL1.DZE bits.

BS, bits [3:0]

Log2 of the block size in words. The maximum size supported is 2KB, indicated by value 0b1001.

If FEAT_MTE2 is implemented, the minimum size supported is 16 bytes, indicated by value 0b0010.

This field has an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED value.

Access to this field is RO.
