GICC_PMR, CPU Interface Priority Mask Register

The GICC_PMR characteristics are:

Purpose

This register provides an interrupt priority filter. Only interrupts with a higher priority than the value in this register are signaled to the PE.

Note

Higher interrupt priority corresponds to a lower value of the Priority field.

Configuration

RW fields in this register reset to architecturally UNKNOWN values.

This register is available in all configurations of the GIC. If the GIC implementation supports two Security states this register is Common.

Attributes

GICC_PMR is a 32-bit register.

Field descriptions

The GICC_PMR bit assignments are:

Bits [31:8]

Reserved, RES0.

Priority, bits [7:0]

The priority mask level for the CPU interface. If the priority of the interrupt is higher than the value indicated by this field, the interface signals the interrupt to the PE.

If the GIC implementation supports fewer than 256 priority levels some bits might be RAZ/WI, as follows:

See Interrupt prioritization for more information.

This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

Accessing the GICC_PMR

If the GIC implementation supports two Security states:

See 'Priority control of Secure and Non-secure interrupts' in the GICv3 Architecture Specification for more information.

GICC_PMR can be accessed through the memory-mapped interfaces:
