DC CVAP, Data or unified Cache line Clean by VA to PoP
The DC CVAP characteristics are:
Purpose
Clean data cache by address to Point of Persistence.
If the memory system does not identify a Point of Persistence, then this instruction behaves as a DC CVAC.
When FEAT_MTE is implemented, this instruction might clean Allocation Tags from caches.
Configuration
This instruction is present only when FEAT_DPB is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to DC CVAP are UNDEFINED.
Attributes
DC CVAP is a 64-bit System instruction.
Field descriptions
The DC CVAP input value bit assignments are:

Virtual address to use. No alignment restrictions apply to this VA.
Executing the DC CVAP instruction
If EL0 access is enabled, when executed at EL0, this instruction requires read access permission to the VA, otherwise it generates a Permission Fault, see 'Permission fault'.
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)'.
Accesses to this instruction use the following encodings:
DC CVAP, <Xt>
| op0 | op1 | CRn | CRm | op2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0b01 | 0b011 | 0b0111 | 0b1100 | 0b001 |
