12.2.4 TLB Search and Reserve Indexed (tlbsrx.)

Software can use the tlbsrx. instruction to search for entries in the local TLB and, as a side-affect, sets a
local TLB reservation for the associated virtual address.
Because the Embedded.Hypervisor category is supported, if guest execution of TLB management instruc-
tions is disabled (EPCR
tion is supervisor privileged. Because this instruction relies on the MAS Registers, execution of this
instruction in ERAT-only mode (CCR2[NOTLB] = 1) results in an illegal instruction exception. The instruction
format and details follow.
