6. Using the general registers from steps 4 and 5, execute the
itr.i
or
itr.d
instruction.
A data or instruction serialization operation must be performed after the insert (for
itr.d
or
itr.i
, respectively) before the inserted translation can be referenced.
Software may insert a new translation into a TR slot already occupied by another valid
translation. However, software must perform a TR purge to ensure that the overwritten
translation is no longer present in any of the processor's TLB structures.
Instruction TR inserts will purge any instruction TC entries which overlap the inserted
translation, and may purge any data TC entries which overlap it. Data TR inserts will
purge any data TC entries which overlap the inserted translation and may purge any
instruction TC entries which overlap it.
Software may insert the same (or overlapping) translation into both the instruction TRs
and the data TRs. This may be desirable for locked pages which contain both code and
data, for example.
5.2.1.2
TR Purge
To purge a TR from the TLBs, software performs the following steps:
1. Place the base virtual address of the translation to be purged into a general
register.
1
2. Place the address range in bytes of the purge into bits {7:2} of a second general
register.
3. Using these two GRs, execute the
ptr.d
or
ptr.i
instruction.
A data or instruction serialization operation must be performed after the purge (for
ptr.d
or
ptr.i
, respectively) before the translation is guaranteed to be purged from
the processor's TLBs.
Note:
The TR purge instruction operates independently of the slot into which the
translation was originally inserted.
A
ptr.d
instruction will never purge an overlapping translation in an instruction TR, but
may purge an overlapping translation in an instruction TC; likewise, a
ptr.i
instruction
will never purge an overlapping translation in a data TR, but may purge an overlapping
translation in a data TC.
A TR purge does not modify the page tables nor any other memory location, nor does it
affect the TLB state of any processor other than the one on which it is executed.
5.2.2
Translation Caches (TCs)
The TC array acts as a cache of the dynamic working set for data and instruction
translations. It is managed by software (via
itc
and
ptc
instructions) and, optionally
by hardware, if the processor provides a hardware page walker (HPW) and the walker is
enabled. See
below.
1.
The upper 3 bits (VRN) of this address specify a region register whose contents are used as part of
the translation to be purged. See
for details.
