corresponding NaT bits from the VPD. vpsr.bn is updated to reflect the new register
bank without any intercepts to the VMM, unless a fault condition is detected (see
for details).
If this optimization is disabled, execution of the
bsw
instruction with PSR.vm==1
results in a virtualization intercept.
Synchronization is required when this optimization is enabled, see
details.
Note:
This field cannot be enabled together with the d_psr_i virtualization disable
control (vdc) described in
Section 11.7.4.3.7, “Disable PSR Interrupt-bit Virtu-
. If this control is enabled together with the d_psr_i
control, an error will be returned during PAL_VP_CREATE and
PAL_VP_REGISTER. See
Section 11.7.4.4, “Virtualization Optimization Combi-
for details.
11.7.4.2.8 Probe Instruction Virtualization
The probe instruction virtualization is controlled by the a_all_probes and
a_select_probes bits in the Virtualization Acceleration Control (
vac
) field in the VPD.
When the a_all_probes bit is set to 1, all
probe
instructions running at all privilege
levels with PSR.vm==1 will result in virtualization intercepts.
When the a_select_probes bit is set to 1, the following
probe
instructions will raise
virtualization intercepts when executed with PSR.vm==1 at the most privileged level
(VPSR.cpl==0):
•
probe
instructions in immediate-form, with immediate field equal to privilege level
0
• All
probe
instructions in register-form
Please refer to the instruction description page for the
probe
instruction for details on
the usage of immediate-form and register-form of the instruction.
Note:
Software cannot enable both a_all_probes and a_select_probes bits together -
an error will be returned during PAL_VP_CREATE and PAL_VP_REGISTER.
The virtualization of
probe
instructions is not supported on all processor
implementations. Software can call PAL_VP_ENV_INFO to determine the availability of
this feature.

bsw
When the bank switch optimization is enabled,
bsw
instructions with
PSR.vm==1, may raise the following faults:
• Illegal Operation fault – if the instruction is not the last instruction
in an instruction group
• Privileged Operation fault – if vpsr.cpl is not zero
