DC CIGSW

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.

DC CIGSW, Clean and Invalidate of Allocation Tags by Set/Way

Purpose

Configuration

This instruction is present only when FEAT_MTE2 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to DC CIGSW are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

Field descriptions

Bits [63:32]

SetWay, bits [31:4]

Contains two fields:

Way, bits[31:32-A], the number of the way to operate on.
Set, bits[B-1:L], the number of the set to operate on.

Bits[L-1:4] are RES0.

A = Log₂(ASSOCIATIVITY), L = Log₂(LINELEN), B = (L + S), S = Log₂(NSETS).

ASSOCIATIVITY, LINELEN (line length, in bytes), and NSETS (number of sets) have their usual meanings and are the values for the cache level being operated on. The values of A and S are rounded up to the next integer.

Level, bits [3:1]

Bit [0]

Executing DC CIGSW

If this instruction is executed with a set, way or level argument that is larger than the value supported by the implementation then the behavior is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE and one of the following occurs:

The instruction is UNDEFINED.
The instruction performs cache maintenance on one of:
- No cache lines.
- A single arbitrary cache line.
- Multiple arbitrary cache lines.

This system instruction is an alias of the SYS instruction.

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