A data processing apparatus (2) has processing circuitry (4) for executing first software (12) at a first privilege level EL1 and second software (10) at a second privilege level EL2 higher than the first privilege level. Attributes may be set by the first and second software (10, 12) to indicate whether execution of the data access instruction can be interrupted. For a predetermined type of data access instruction for which the second attribute set by the second software (10) specifies that the instruction can be interrupted, the instruction may be set as interruptable even if the first attribute set by the first software (12) specifies that the execution of the instruction cannot be interrupted. |
