PMSEVFR_EL1, Sampling Event Filter Register

The PMSEVFR_EL1 characteristics are:

Purpose

Controls sample filtering by events. The overall filter is the logical AND of these filters. For example, if E[3] and E[5] are both set to 1, only samples that have both event 3 (Level 1 unified or data cache refill) and event 5 set (TLB walk) are recorded

Configuration

This register is present only when SPE is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to PMSEVFR_EL1 are UNDEFINED.

This register is in the Warm reset domain. On a Warm or Cold reset RW fields in this register reset to architecturally UNKNOWN values.

Attributes

PMSEVFR_EL1 is a 64-bit register.

Otherwise:

Reserved, RAZ/WI.

Bit [16]

Reserved, RAZ/WI.

E[<x>], bit [x], for x = 12 to 15

E[<x>] is the event filter for event <x>. If event <x> is not implemented, or filtering on event <x> is not supported, the corresponding bit is RAZ/WI.

E[<x>]Meaning
0b0

Event <x> is ignored.

0b1

Do not record samples that have event <x> == 0.

An IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED event might be recorded as a multi-bit field. In this case, if the corresponding bits of PMSEVFR_EL1 define an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED filter for the event.

This field is ignored by the PE when PMSFCR_EL1.FE == 0

On a Warm reset, this field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

E[11], bit [11]

When ARMv8.3-SPE is implemented:

Alignment.

E[11]Meaning
0b0

Alignment event is ignored.

0b1

Do not record samples that have the Alignment event == 0.

This bit is ignored by the PE when PMSFCR_EL1.FE == 0.

On a Warm reset, this field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.


Otherwise:

Reserved, RAZ/WI.

Bits [10:8]

Reserved, RAZ/WI.

E[7], bit [7]

Mispredicted.

E[7]Meaning
0b0

Mispredicted event is ignored.

0b1

Do not record samples that have the Mispredicted event == 0.

This bit is ignored by the PE when PMSFCR_EL1.FE == 0.

0b0

Architecturally retired event is ignored.

0b1

Do not record samples that have the Architecturally retired event == 0.

This bit is ignored by the PE when PMSFCR_EL1.FE == 0.

If the PE does not support the sampling of speculative instructions, or always discards the sample record for speculative instructions, this bit reads as an UNKNOWN value and the PE ignores its value.
