Volume 2, Part 1: System State and Programming Model
serialization requirements. This approach simplifies hardware and allows for more
efficient software operations. For example, during a low level context switch where
there is no immediate use of loaded system registers, these registers can be loaded
without any serialization overhead. To ensure side effects are observed before a
dependent instruction is fetched or executed, two serialization operations are provided:
instruction serialization
and
data serialization
.
3.2.1
Instruction Serialization
Instruction serialization
ensures that modifications to processor resources are
observed before subsequent instruction group fetches are re-initiated. Software must
use an instruction serialization operation before any instruction group that is dependent
upon the modified system resource. Resource side effects may be observed at any point
before the explicit serialization operation.
Modification of the following system resources (if the modification affects instruction
fetching) require instruction serialization: RR, PKR, ITR, ITC, IBR, PMC, PMD, PSR bits
as defined in
“Processor Status Register (PSR)” on page 2:23
and Control Registers as
defined in
“Control Registers” on page 2:29
.
The instructions Return from Interruption (
rfi
) and Instruction Serialize (
srlz.i
)
perform explicit instruction serialization.
An interruption performs an implicit instruction serialization operation, so the first
instruction group in the interruption handler will observe the serialized state.
Instruction Serialization Example:
mov ibr[reg]= reg
// move to instruction debug register
;;
// end of instruction group
srlz.i
// ensure subsequent instruction fetches observe
// modification
;;
// end of instruction group
inst
// dependent instruction
Note:
The serializing instruction, the instruction to be serialized, and any operations
dependent on the serialization must be in three separate instruction groups.
3.2.2
Data Serialization
Data serialization
ensures that modifications to processor resources affecting both
execution and data memory accesses are observed. Software must issue a data
serialize operation prior to the instruction dependent upon the modified resource. Data
serialization can be issued within the same instruction group as the dependent
instruction. Resource side effects may be observed at any point before the explicit
serialization operation.
Modification of the following system resources require data serialization: RR, PKR, RUC,
DTR, DTC, DBR, PMC, PMD, PSR bits as defined in
“Processor Status Register (PSR)” on
and Control Registers as defined in
“Control Registers” on page 2:29
