Accessing CP15 registers
Use only
MRC
and
MCR
instructions, only in privileged mode, to access CP15 registers.
Figure 11 shows the MRC and MCR instruction bit pattern.
Figure 11: CP15 MRC and MCR bit pattern
The mnemonics for these instructions are:
MCR{cond} p15,opcode_1,Rd,CRn,CRm,opcode_2
MRC{cond} p15,opcode_1,Rd,CRn,CRm,opcode_2
If you try to read from a write-only register or write to a read-only register, you will
have
UNPREDICTABLE
results. In all instructions that access CP15:
The
opcode_1
field
SHOULD BE ZERO
, except when the values specified are used
to select the operations you want. Using other values results in
unpredictable behavior.
The
opcode_2
and
CRm
fields
SHOULD BE ZERO
, except when the values
specified are used to select the behavior you want. Using other values
results in unpredictable behavior.

UNPREDICTABLE UNP For reads:
The data returned when reading from this location is
unpredictable, and can have any value.
For writes:
Writing to this location causes unpredictable
behavior, or an unpredictable change in device
configuration.
