8. Address Spaces, ASIs, ASRs, and Traps
1
Read-only access; causes a
data_access_exception
trap if written respectively.
2
Causes a
data_access_exception
trap if the page being accessed is privileged.
8.3.2 UltraSPARC (Non-SPARC-V9) ASI Extensions
Table 8-2 defines all non-SPARC-V9 ASI extensions supported in UltraSPARC.
These ASIs may be used with LDXA, STXA, LDDFA, STDFA instructions only,
unless otherwise noted. Other length accesses will cause a
data_access_exception
trap. See Appendix F, “ASI Names,” for an alphabetical listing of ASI names and
macro syntax.
