CLIDR_EL1, Cache Level ID Register, EL1
The CLIDR_EL1 identifies the type of cache, or caches, implemented at each level, up to a maximum of
seven levels.
It also identifies the
Level of Coherency
(LoC) and
Level of Unification
(LoU) for the cache hierarchy.
Bit field descriptions
CLIDR_EL1 is a 64-bit register, and is part of the Identification registers functional group.

ICB, [32:30]
Inner cache boundary. This field indicates the boundary between the inner and the outer domain:
0b010
L2 cache is the highest inner level.
0b011
L3 cache is the highest inner level.
LoUU, [29:27]
Indicates the Level of Unification Uniprocessor for the cache hierarchy:
0b000
No levels of cache need to cleaned or invalidated when cleaning or invalidating to the
Point of Unification. This is the value if no caches are configured.
LoC, [26:24]
Indicates the Level of Coherency for the cache hierarchy:
0b010
L3 cache is not implemented.
0b011
L3 cache is implemented.
LoUIS, [23:21]
Indicates the
Level of Unification Inner Shareable
(LoUIS) for the cache hierarchy.
0b000
No cache level needs cleaning to Point of Unification.
RES0, [20:9]
No cache at levels L7 down to L4.
RES0
Reserved.
Ctype3, [8:6]
Indicates the type of cache if the core implements L3 cache. If present, unified instruction and
data caches at Level 3:
