Programming Notes
Execution of this instruction is privileged.
The PPC440x5 core does not automatically synchronize the context of the MMUCR[STID] field between a
tlbre instruction which updates the field, and a tlbsx[.] instruction which uses it as a source operand. There-
fore, software must execute an isync instruction between the execution of a tlbre instruction and a subse-
quent tlbsx[.] instruction to ensure that the tlbsx[.] instruction will use the new value of MMUCR[STID]. On
the other hand, the PPC440x5 core does automatically synchronize the context of MMUCR[STID] between
tlbre and tlbwe, as well as between tlbre and mfspr which specifies the MMUCR as the source SPR, so no
isync is required in these cases.
