9.10 Primary Data Cache Error Protection and Handling

Error Handling
All primary data cache errors are uncorrectable. If an error is detected, the data cache unit posts a Cache Error exception and initializes the EE, D, TA, TS, TM, and PIdx fields in the local CacheErr register (see Chapter 14, CacheErr Register (27), for more information). If an error is detected on the tag address, state, or mod array, the processor informs the external agent that an uncorrectable tag error was detected by asserting SysUncErr* for one SysClk cycle.
