CP15DSB, Data Synchronization Barrier System instruction

The CP15DSB characteristics are:

Purpose

Performs a Data Synchronization Barrier.

Arm deprecates any use of this System instruction, and strongly recommends that software use the DSB instruction instead.

Configuration

This instruction is present only when AArch32 is supported at any Exception level. Otherwise, direct accesses to CP15DSB are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

CP15DSB is a 32-bit System instruction.

Field descriptions

This instruction has no applicable fields.

The value in the register specified by <Rt> is ignored.

Executing the CP15DSB instruction

Accesses to this instruction use the following encodings:

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