BPIMVA, Branch Predictor Invalidate by VA

The BPIMVA characteristics are:

Purpose

Invalidate virtual address from branch predictors.

Configuration

This instruction is present only when AArch32 is supported at EL0.any Exception level. Otherwise, direct accesses to BPIMVA are UNDEFINED.

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

Attributes

BPIMVA is a 32-bit System instruction.

Virtual address to use.

Executing the BPIMVA instruction

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

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

coprocopc1CRnCRmopc2

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 BPIMVA(R[t]); elsif PSTATE.EL == EL2 then BPIMVA(R[t]); elsif PSTATE.EL == EL3 then BPIMVA(R[t]);
