DC ZGBVA

Executing DC ZGBVA

When this instruction is executed, it can generate memory faults or watchpoints which are prioritized in the same way as other memory-related faults or watchpoints. If a synchronous Data Abort fault or a watchpoint is generated, the CM bit in the ESR_ELx.ISS field is set to 0.

For a DC ZGBVA instruction executed to any type of Device memory, it is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE whether it generates an Alignment Fault determined by the memory type. Allocation tags at the specified addresses are not modified.

This instruction applies to Normal memory regardless of cacheability attributes.

This instruction behaves as a set of Stores to each Allocation tag within the block being accessed, and so it:

• Generates a Permission fault if the translation system does not permit writes to the locations.
• Requires the same considerations for ordering and the management of coherency as any other store to Allocation tag instructions.

This system instruction is an alias of the SYS instruction.

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

(op0 = 0b01, op1 = 0b011, CRn = 0b0111, CRm = 0b0100, op2 = 0b101)
