5.5.2.58 L1 Instruction TLB Index (ITB_INDEX_MSR)
The L1 Instruction TLB is accessible via an index/data mechanism. The index of the entry to access is set via
ITB_INDEX_MSR and an entry is read or written via ITB_ENTRY_MSR or ITB_ENTRY_I_MSR. An autoincrement mecha-
nism is provided to post-increment ITB_INDEX_MSR after every access to ITB_ENTRY_I_MSR. The L0 TLB can be
accessed by a read only MSR and it is not necessary to use the ITB_INDEX_MSR to read the L0 TLB. The L1 TLB LRU
bits can be accessed using the ITB_LRU_MSR. Diagnostic accesses to the L0 or L1 Instruction TLB array do not affect the
values of the LRU bits.

Note that the L1 Instruction TLB is always in use and cannot be disabled. That means that diagnostic accesses generated
by code running on the processor are unreliable at best, since the TLB contents may be changing while the code is running.
Furthermore, the L1 Instruction TLB is flushed on any mode change, so a debug handler would no longer see the TLB con-
tents prior to the DMI. Thus the L1 Instruction TLB accesses are intended only to be used by the GLCP after the pipeline
has been halted.
