The DC CVAC characteristics are:
Clean data cache by address to Point of Coherency.
When ARMv8.5-MemTag is implemented, this instruction might clean Allocation Tags from caches.
AArch64 System instruction DC CVAC performs the same function as AArch32 System instruction DCCMVAC.
DC CVAC is a 64-bit System instruction.
The DC CVAC input value bit assignments are:

Virtual address to use. No alignment restrictions apply to this VA.
If EL0 access is enabled, when executed at EL0, this instruction requires read access permission to the VA, otherwise it generates a Permission Fault, subject to the constraints described in 'Permission fault' in the Arm® Architecture Reference Manual, Armv8, for Armv8-A architecture profile.
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)' in the Arm® Architecture Reference Manual, Armv8, for Armv8-A architecture profile.
Accesses to this instruction use the following encodings:
op0 | op1 | CRn | CRm | op2 |
---|---|---|---|---|
0b01 | 0b011 | 0b0111 | 0b1010 | 0b001 |
