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 AArch32 is supported. Otherwise, direct accesses to DCIMVAC are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

DCIMVAC is a 32-bit System instruction.

Virtual address to use

Bits [31:0]

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

Executing the DCIMVAC instruction

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>}
