APFLOCK

Auto-Prefetch Lock. Bit mask of ways that cannot be allocated or replaced on an auto-
prefetch issued for a cache miss due to an instruction that is not using the restricted
cache prefix. Automatic prefetches that result from restricted cache prefix instructions
use the PFXLOCK field (bits [15:0]) for way masking. (Default = 0)

APFMODE

Auto-Prefetch Mode. When auto-prefetching is enabled via the APFENA bit (bit 24),
APFMODE determines how the prefetches are issued as follows:

00: Even Only. An auto-prefetch is issued for the odd cache line when a fill is issued for

an even cache line, but no auto-prefetch is issued for a fill on an odd cache line. For
example, when a fill request is issued for address 0h, a prefetch will be issued for
address 20h. (Default)

01: Even/Odd. Auto-prefetches are issued for an odd cache line when an even fill is

issued, and for even cache lines when an odd fill is issued. (i.e the auto-prefetch
address is the toggle of fill address A[5]). Using this mode effectively increases the
DM logical cache line size to 64 bytes for fills. Line replacements and snoop evictions
are still done using a 32-byte line size.

1x: Increment. Auto-prefetches are issued for the next cache line (auto-prefetch line = fill

line + 1) when a fill is issued, except for the last cache line in a 4K page (fill address
bits [11:5] = 1111111b).

24

APFENA

Auto-Prefetch Enable. Allows DM to perform automatic prefetch operations based on
cache fills as specified by the APFMODE field (bits [26:25]).

0: Disable.
1: Enable.

RSVD

21

PFXLOCKENA

Prefetch Prefix Instructions Lock Enable. When this bit is enabled, the LSLOCK field
in DM_CONFIG0 (MSR 00001800h[31:16]) determines which ways are available for
replacement for all processor memory references except prefetch instructions.

0: Disable the restricted cache feature. (Default)

1: Enable the restricted cache feature (PFXLOCK field, bits [15:0]).
