This is a collection of Intel®’ IA32® Software Developer's Manuals (URL of the day) and AMD' AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual together with the related specifications, application notes, white papers, and change logs. The collection aims to keep all available revisions. It was originally created by Michal Necasek, see OS/2 Museum.

If you have a public document, related to the IA32® specifications and missing from the collection, please mail it to me. The content of this URL and all sub-ULRs is available for convenient bulk download by rsync x86docs password "" (empty).

ICIALLU

ICIALLU, Instruction Cache Invalidate All to PoU

The ICIALLU characteristics are:

Purpose

Invalidate all instruction caches of the PE executing the instruction to the Point of Unification. If branch predictors are architecturally visible, also flush branch predictors.

Configuration

AArch32 System instruction ICIALLU performs the same function as AArch64 System instruction IC IALLU.

This instruction is present only when FEAT_AA32EL1 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to ICIALLU are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

ICIALLU is a 32-bit System instruction.

Field descriptions

This instruction has no applicable fields.

The value in the register specified by <Rt> is ignored.

Executing ICIALLU

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

When HCR.FB is 1, at Non-secure EL1 this instruction executes as a ICIALLUIS.

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

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