DCIMVAC, Data Cache line Invalidate by VA to PoC

The DCIMVAC characteristics are:

Purpose

Invalidate data or unified cache line by virtual address to PoC.

Configuration

AArch32 System instruction DCIMVAC performs the same function as AArch64 System instruction DC IVAC.

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

Attributes

DCIMVAC is a 32-bit System instruction.

Field descriptions

313029282726252423222120191817161514131211109876543210
VA

VA, bits [31:0]

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

Executing DCIMVAC

It is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether, when this instruction is executed, it can generate a watchpoint. If this instruction can generate a watchpoint this is prioritized in the same way as other watchpoints.

Execution of this instruction might require an address translation from VA to PA, and that translation might fault. For more information, see 'AArch32 data cache maintenance instructions (DC*)'.

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

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