DC CIVAPS

Clean and Invalidate of Data by VA to PoPS

Clean and Invalidate data in data cache by virtual address to the Point of Physical Storage.

This instruction cleans and invalidates all copies of the Location specified in the Xt argument, irrespective of any MECID associated with the Location. Memory accesses resulting from the Clean operation use the MECID associated with the cache entry.

Configuration

This instruction is present only when FEAT_PoPS is implemented and FEAT_AA64 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to DC CIVAPS are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

DC CIVAPS is a 64-bit System instruction.

VA

VA, bits [63:0]:

Virtual address to use. No alignment restrictions apply to this VA.

Executing DC CIVAPS

Execution of this instruction might require an address translation from VA to PA, and that translation might fault. For more information, see 'The data cache maintenance instruction (DC)'.

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

DC CIVAPS, <Xt>

(op0 = 0b01, op1 = 0b000, CRn = 0b0111, CRm = 0b1111, op2 = 0b001)
