The PIDR (process id register) is used to store the id of the currently running process, which is used to select the process table entry used to perform address translation. This means that when we write to this register all the translations in the TLB become outdated as they are for a previously running process. Thus when this register is written to we need to invalidate the TLB entries to ensure stale entries aren't used to to perform translation for the new process, which would result in at best segfaults or alternatively just random memory being accessed.
