• DISFOLD
When set to 1, disables IT folding. see
• DISDEFWBUF
When set to 1, disables write buffer use during default memory map accesses. This causes all bus faults to be precise bus
faults but decreases performance because any store to memory must complete before the processor can execute the next
instruction.
This bit only affects write buffers implemented in the Cortex-M3 processor.
• DISMCYCINT
When set to 1, disables interruption of load multiple and store multiple instructions. This increases the interrupt latency of
the processor because any LDM or STM must complete before the processor can stack the current state and enter the
interrupt handler.

The ACTLR provides disable bits for the following processor functions:
See the register summary in
ments are:
In some situations, the processor can start executing the first instruction in an IT block while it is
still executing the IT instruction. This behavior is called IT folding, and improves performance,
However, IT folding can cause jitter in looping. If a task must avoid jitter, set the DISFOLD bit to
1 before executing the task, to disable IT folding.
• IT folding
• write buffer use for accesses to the default memory map
• interruption of multi-cycle instructions.
