3.3.4.5
Interruption Vector Address (IVA – CR2)
The IVA specifies the location of the interruption vector table in the virtual address
space, or the physical address space if PSR.it is 0, see
. The size of the vector
table is 32K bytes and is 32K byte aligned. The lower 15 bits of the IVA are ignored
when written, reads return zeros. All upper 49 address bits of IVA must be
implemented regardless of the size of the physical and virtual address space. If an
unimplemented virtual or physical address (see
“Unimplemented Address Bits” on
) is loaded into IVA, and an interruption occurs, processor behavior is
unpredictable. See
“IVA-based Interruption Vectors” on page 2:113
for a description of
an interruption table layout.
3.3.4.6
Page Table Address (PTA – CR8)
The PTA anchors the Virtual Hash Page Table (VHPT) in the virtual address space. See
“Virtual Hash Page Table (VHPT)” on page 2:61
for a complete definition of the VHPT.
Operating systems must ensure that the table is aligned on a natural boundary;
otherwise, processor operation is undefined. See
and
for the PTA
field definitions.

VHPT Enable – When 1, the processor is enabled to walk the VHPT.

VHPT Size – VHPT table size in power of 2 increments, table size is 2
size
bytes. Size
generates a mask that is logically AND’ed with the result of the VHPT hash function.
Minimum VHPT table size is 32K bytes; otherwise, a Reserved Register/Field fault is
raised (see
“Virtual Hash Page Table (VHPT)” on page 2:61
). The maximum size is 2
61
bytes for long format VHPTs, and 2
52
bytes for short format VHPTs.

VHPT Format – When 0, 8-byte short format entries are used, when 1, 32-byte long
format entries are used.
base

VHPT Base virtual address – Defines the starting virtual address of the VHPT table. Base
is logically OR’ed with the hash index produced by the VHPT hash function when
referencing the VHPT. Base must be on 2
size
boundary otherwise processor operation is
undefined. All base address bits of PTA must be implemented regardless of the size of
the physical and virtual address space. If an unimplemented virtual address (see
“Unimplemented Address Bits” on page 2:73
) is used by the processor as a page table
base, all VHPT walks generate an Instruction/Data TLB miss (see
