Description


The ARMv8 does not support the SWP/SWPB instructions for syncronisation (Lock/Mutex/Semaphore etc) unless enabled.

On ARMv8 Unaligned memory access is always enabled.

On ARMv8 the Extended Page Table format is always enabled.

For usage of barriers (DMB/DSB/ISB) after cache maintenance operations see: ARM.Reference_Manual_1.pdf - Appendix G Barrier Litmus Tests

Note: This unit currently only supports ARMv8 in Aarch32 mode, support for Aarch64 mode will be added in future.
