B1.50 DFSR with Short-descriptor translation table format
DFSR has a specific format when using the Short-descriptor translation table format.
The following figure shows the DFSR bit assignments when using the Short-descriptor translation table
format.

Reserved, RES0.
CM, [13]
Cache maintenance fault. For synchronous faults, this bit indicates whether a cache maintenance
operation generated the fault:
0 Abort not caused by a cache maintenance operation.
1 Abort caused by a cache maintenance operation.
ExT, [12]
External abort type. This field indicates whether an AXI Decode or Slave error caused an abort:
0 External abort marked as DECERR.
1 External abort marked as SLVERR.
For aborts other than external aborts this bit always returns 0.
WnR, [11]
Write not Read bit. This field indicates whether the abort was caused by a write or a read access:
0 Abort caused by a read access.
1 Abort caused by a write access.
For faults on CP15 cache maintenance operations, including the VA to PA translation
operations, this bit always returns a value of 1.
FS[4], [10]
Part of the Fault Status field. See bits [3:0] in this table.
[9]
RAZ.
[8]
Reserved, RES0.
Domain, [7:4]
Specifies which of the 16 domains, D15-D0, was being accessed when a data fault occurred.
For permission faults that generate Data Abort exception, this field is UNKNOWN. Armv8
deprecates any use of the domain field in the DFSR.
