Figure
5-24A
and
Figure
5-24B
show
the
cache-writeback
and
invalidation
special
bus
cycle,
followed
by
the
cache-invalida-
tion
special
bus
cycle.
The
processor
drives
these
two
special
cycles
after
executing
the
WBINVD
instruction.
The
execution
of
WBINVD
causes
the
processor
to
invalidate
each
line
in
its
instruction
and
data
caches.
If
a
data
cache
line
is
in
the
modified
state,
the
line
is
written
back
immediately
before
being
invalidated.
During
such
writebacks,
A31-A5
defines
the
address
of
a
32-byte
location
in
memory
to
which
the
modified
cache
line
will
be
written
back.
After
all
modified
lines
are
written
back
and
all
lines
in
both
caches
are
invali-
dated,
the
processor
first
drives
the
cache-writeback
and
inval-
idation
special
bus
cycle (BE7-BEU =
F7h)
and
then
the
cache-
invalidation
special
bus
cycle
(BE7-BEU = FDh).
System
logic
must
respond
by
asserting
BRDY
to
each
of
the
two
special
cycles
as
shown
in
Figure
5-24B.
