The HSTR_EL2 characteristics are:
Controls trapping to EL2 of EL1 or lower AArch32 accesses to the System register in the coproc == 0b1111 encoding space, by the CRn value used to access the register using MCR or MRC instruction. When the register is accessible using an MCRR or MRRC instruction, this is the CRm value used to access the register.
AArch64 System register HSTR_EL2 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register HSTR[31:0] .
If EL2 is not implemented, this register is RES0 from EL3.
If no Exception level can use AArch32, then this register is RES0.
This register has no effect if EL2 is not enabled in the current Security state.
RW fields in this register reset to architecturally UNKNOWN values.
HSTR_EL2 is a 64-bit register.
The HSTR_EL2 bit assignments are:
63 | 62 | 61 | 60 | 59 | 58 | 57 | 56 | 55 | 54 | 53 | 52 | 51 | 50 | 49 | 48 | 47 | 46 | 45 | 44 | 43 | 42 | 41 | 40 | 39 | 38 | 37 | 36 | 35 | 34 | 33 | 32 |
0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | T15 | T14 | T13 | T12 | T11 | T10 | T9 | T8 | T7 | T6 | T5 | T4 | T3 | T2 | T1 | T0 |
31 | 30 | 29 | 28 | 27 | 26 | 25 | 24 | 23 | 22 | 21 | 20 | 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
Reserved, RES0.
Fields T14 and T4 are RES0.
The remaining fields control whether EL0 and EL1 accesses, using MCR, MRC, MCRR, and MRRC instructions, to the System registers in the coproc == 0b1111 encoding space are trapped to EL2:
T<n> | Meaning |
---|---|
0b0 |
This control has no effect on EL0 or EL1 accesses to System registers. |
0b1 |
Any EL1 MCR or MRC access with coproc == 0b1111 and CRn == <n> is trapped to EL2. An EL0 MCR or MRC access with these values is trapped to EL2 only if the access is not UNDEFINED when the value of this field is 0. Any EL1 MCRR or MRRC access with coproc == 0b1111 and CRm == <n> is trapped to EL2. An EL0 MCRR or MRRC access with these values is trapped to EL2 only if the access is not UNDEFINED when the value of this field is 0. |
For example, when HSTR_EL2.T7 is 1, for instructions executed at EL1:
When ARMv8.1-VHE is implemented, and the value of HCR_EL2.{E2H, TGE} is {1, 1}, this field behaves as 0 for all purposes other than a direct read of the value of this bit.
This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.
Accesses to this register use the following encodings:
op0 | CRn | op1 | op2 | CRm |
---|---|---|---|---|
0b11 | 0b0001 | 0b100 | 0b011 | 0b0001 |
if PSTATE.EL == EL0 then UNDEFINED; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL1 then if EL2Enabled() && HCR_EL2.<NV2,NV> == '11' then return NVMem[0x080]; elsif EL2Enabled() && HCR_EL2.NV == '1' then AArch64.SystemAccessTrap(EL2, 0x18); else UNDEFINED; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL2 then return HSTR_EL2; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL3 then return HSTR_EL2;
op0 | CRn | op1 | op2 | CRm |
---|---|---|---|---|
0b11 | 0b0001 | 0b100 | 0b011 | 0b0001 |
if PSTATE.EL == EL0 then UNDEFINED; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL1 then if EL2Enabled() && HCR_EL2.<NV2,NV> == '11' then NVMem[0x080] = X[t]; elsif EL2Enabled() && HCR_EL2.NV == '1' then AArch64.SystemAccessTrap(EL2, 0x18); else UNDEFINED; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL2 then HSTR_EL2 = X[t]; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL3 then HSTR_EL2 = X[t];
