DC CGDVAC, Clean of Data and Allocation Tags by VA to PoC

The DC CGDVAC characteristics are:

Purpose

Clean data and Allocation Tags in data cache by address to Point of Coherency.

Configuration

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

Attributes

DC CGDVAC is a 64-bit System instruction.

VA
VA

VA, bits [63:0]

Virtual address to use. No alignment restrictions apply to this VA.

Executing DC CGDVAC

If EL0 access is enabled, when executed at EL0, the instruction may generate a Permission fault, subject to the constraints described in 'MMU faults generated by cache maintenance operations'.

Execution of this instruction might require an address translation from VA to PA, and that translation might fault. For more information, see 'The data cache maintenance instruction (DC)'.

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