    摘要: A data processing system having a processor and a target device processes decorated instructions (i.e. an instruction having a decoration value). A device of the data processing system such as the processor sends transactions to the target device over a system interconnect. The transactions include an indication of an instruction operation, an address associated with the instruction operation, a decoration value (i.e. a command to the target device to perform a function in addition to a primary function of the executed instruction), and access permissions associated with the address. The target device (e.g. a memory with functionality in addition to storage functionality) determines whether a decoration operation specified by the decoration value is permissible based on the received access permissions. The target device performs the decoration operation if appropriate permissions exist.

    摘要: A processor implementation supports selection of an execution mode for debug instruction instances based on respective addresses thereof in addressable memory can provide an attractive mechanism for executing debug instructions in a way that allows some instances of the instructions to operate with debug semantics while suppressing other instances by executing them with no-operation (NOP) semantics. In some embodiments, selection of operative execution semantics may be based on attributes of a memory page in which a particular debug instruction instance resides. In some embodiments, portions of an address space may be delimited (e.g., using values stored in bounding registers and addresses of particular debug instruction instances compared against the delimited portions to select appropriate execution semantics. In some embodiments, both types of evaluations may be used in selecting appropriate execution semantics for a particular debug instruction instance.

    摘要: A method and device for locking a cache line of a cache is disclosed. The method includes automatically changing a state of a cache line from a valid locked state to an invalid locked state in response to receiving an indication that a memory location external to the cache and corresponding to the cache line is associated with an access request by a processor or other data access module. Thus, the locked state of a cache line is maintained even after data in the locked cache line is invalidated. By maintaining the invalid locked state, the cache line is not available for reallocation by the cache. This allows locked cache lines that become invalidated to remain locked without additional software overhead to periodically determine whether the lock has been lost due to invalidation of the cache line.
