5.1.3 Virtual Address Register – VA
The virtual address register (VA) is a read-only register. When a DTB miss or fault
occurs, the associated effective virtual address is written into the VA register. VA is not
written when a LD_VPTE gets a DTB miss or Dstream fault. Figure 5–3 shows the vir-
tual address register.

tual address register.

5.1.4 Virtual Address Control Register – VA_CTL
The virtual address control register (VA_CTL) is a write-only register that controls the
way in which the faulting virtual address stored in the VA register is formatted when it
is read by way of the VA_FORM register. It also contains control bits that affect the
behavior of the memory pipe virtual address sign extension checkers and the behavior
of the Ebox extract, insert, and mask instructions. Figure 5–4 shows the virtual address
control register.
