BPIALLIS, Branch Predictor Invalidate All, Inner Shareable

The BPIALLIS characteristics are:

Purpose

Invalidate all entries from branch predictors Inner Shareable.

Configuration

In an implementation where the branch predictors are architecturally invisible, this instruction can execute as a NOP.

Attributes

BPIALLIS is a 32-bit System instruction.

Field descriptions

BPIALLIS ignores the value in the register specified by the instruction encoding. Software does not have to write a value to the register before issuing this instruction.

Executing the BPIALLIS instruction

The PE ignores the value of <Rt>. Software does not have to write a value to this register before issuing this instruction.

Accesses to this instruction use the following encodings:

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

opc1opc2CRncoprocCRm

if PSTATE.EL == EL0 then UNDEFINED; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL1 then if EL2Enabled() && !ELUsingAArch32(EL2) && HSTR_EL2.T7 == '1' then AArch64.AArch32SystemAccessTrap(EL2, 0x03); elsif EL2Enabled() && ELUsingAArch32(EL2) && HSTR.T7 == '1' then AArch32.TakeHypTrapException(0x03); else BPIALL(); elsif PSTATE.EL == EL2 then BPIALL(); elsif PSTATE.EL == EL3 then BPIALL();
