Programming Note: An MSR bit that is reserved may be altered by rfmci, consistent with
the value being restored from MCSRR1.
MCSRR1 can be written from a GPR using mtspr, and can be read into a GPR using mfspr.
6.4.8 Data Exception Address Register (DEAR)
The DEAR contains the address that was referenced by a load, store, or cache management instruction that
caused an Alignment, Data TLB Miss, or Data Storage exception.
The DEAR can be written from a GPR using
mtspr, and can be read into a GPR using mfspr.
6.4.9 Interrupt Vector Offset Registers (IVOR0–IVOR15)
An IVOR specifies the quadword (16 byte)-aligned interrupt vector offset from the base address provided by
the IVPR (see Interrupt Vector Prefix Register (IVPR) on page 171) for its respective interrupt type. IVOR0–
IVOR15 are provided for the defined interrupt types. The interrupt vector effective address is formed as
follows:
IVPR
0:15
|| IVORn
16:27
|| 0b0000
where n specifies the IVOR register to be used for the particular interrupt type.
Any IVOR can be written from a GPR using mtspr, and can be read into a GPR using mfspr.
