| Title of Invention | CACHE LOCKING WITHOUT INTERFERENCE FROM NORMAL ALLOCATION |
|---|---|
| Abstract | A Block Normal Cache Allocation (BNCA) mode is defined for a processor. In BNCA mode, cache entries may only be allocated by predetermined instructions. Normal memory access instructions (for example, as part of interrupt code) may execute and will retrieve data from main memory in the event of a cache miss; however, these instructions are not allowed to allocate entries in the cache. Only the predetermined instructions (for example, those used to establish locked cache entries) may allocate entries in the cache. When the locked entries are established, the processor exits BNCA mode, and any memory access instruction may allocate cache entries. BNCA mode may be indicated by setting a bit in a configuration register. |
