TLB Misses
If there is no TLB entry that matches the virtual address, a TLB miss
exception occurs.
†
If the access control bits (D and V) indicate that the
access is not valid, a TLB modification or TLB invalid exception occurs. If
the C bits equal 010
2
, the physical address that is retrieved accesses main
memory, bypassing the cache.
TLB Instructions
Table 4-14 lists the instructions that the CPU provides for working with
the TLB. See Appendix A for a detailed description of these instructions.
