Bad Virtual Address Register (BadVAddr) (8)

The Bad Virtual Address register (BadVAddr) is a read-only register that displays the most recent virtual address that caused one of the following exceptions: TLB Invalid, TLB Modified, TLB Refill, Virtual Coherency Data Access, or Virtual Coherency Instruction Fetch.

Figure 5-2 shows the format of the BadVAddr register.

Note: The BadVAddr register does not save any information for bus errors, since bus errors are not addressing errors.
