ICH_HCR, Interrupt Controller Hyp Control Register

The ICH_HCR characteristics are:

Purpose

Controls the environment for VMs.

Configuration

AArch32 System register ICH_HCR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register ICH_HCR_EL2[31:0] .

If EL2 is not implemented, this register is RES0 from EL3.

Some or all RW fields of this register have defined reset values. These apply only if the PE resets into an Exception level that is using AArch32. Otherwise, RW fields in this register reset to architecturally UNKNOWN values.

Attributes

ICH_HCR is a 32-bit register.

EOIcount, bits [31:27]

This field is incremented whenever a successful write to a virtual EOIR or DIR register would have resulted in a virtual interrupt deactivation. That is either:

This allows software to manage more active interrupts than there are implemented List Registers.

It is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE whether a virtual write to EOIR that does not clear a bit in the Active Priorities registers (ICH_AP0R<n>/ICH_AP1R<n>) increments EOIcount. Permitted behaviors are:

This field resets to 0.

Bits [26:15]

Reserved, RES0.

TDIR, bit [14]

Trap Non-secure EL1 writes to ICC_DIR and ICV_DIR.

TDIRMeaning
0b0

Non-secure EL1 writes of ICC_DIR and ICV_DIR are not trapped to EL2, unless trapped by other mechanisms.

0b1

Non-secure EL1 writes of ICV_DIR are trapped to EL2. It is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether Non-secure writes of ICC_DIR are trapped. Not trapping ICC_DIR writes is DEPRECATED.

Support for this bit is OPTIONAL, with support indicated by ICH_VTR.

If the implementation does not support this trap, this bit is RES0.

Arm deprecates not including this trap bit.

This field resets to 0.

TSEI, bit [13]

Trap all locally generated SEIs. This bit allows the hypervisor to intercept locally generated SEIs that would otherwise be taken at Non-secure EL1.

TSEIMeaning
0b0

Locally generated SEIs do not cause a trap to EL2.

0b1

Locally generated SEIs trap to EL2.

If ICH_VTR.SEIS is 0, this bit is RES0.

This field resets to 0.

TALL1, bit [12]

Trap all Non-secure EL1 accesses to ICC_* and ICV_* System registers for Group 1 interrupts to EL2.

TALL1Meaning
0b0

Non-secure EL1 accesses to ICC_* and ICV_* registers for Group 1 interrupts proceed as normal.

0b1

Non-secure EL1 accesses to ICC_* and ICV_* registers for Group 1 interrupts trap to EL2.

This field resets to 0.

TALL0, bit [11]

Trap all Non-secure EL1 accesses to ICC_* and ICV_* System registers for Group 0 interrupts to EL2.

TALL0Meaning
0b0

Non-secure EL1 accesses to ICC_* and ICV_* registers for Group 0 interrupts proceed as normal.

0b1

Non-secure EL1 accesses to ICC_* and ICV_* registers for Group 0 interrupts trap to EL2.

This field resets to 0.

TC, bit [10]

Trap all Non-secure EL1 accesses to System registers that are common to Group 0 and Group 1 to EL2.

TCMeaning
0b0

Non-secure EL1 accesses to common registers proceed as normal.

0b1

Non-secure EL1 accesses to common registers trap to EL2.

This affects accesses to ICC_SGI0R, ICC_SGI1R, ICC_ASGI1R, ICC_CTLR, ICC_DIR, ICC_PMR, ICC_RPR, ICV_CTLR, ICV_DIR, ICV_PMR, and ICV_RPR.

This field resets to 0.

Bits [9:8]

Reserved, RES0.

VGrp1DIEMeaning
0b0

Maintenance interrupt disabled.

0b1

Maintenance interrupt signaled when ICH_VMCR.VENG1 is 0.

This field resets to 0.

VGrp1EIE, bit [6]

VM Group 1 Enabled Interrupt Enable. Enables the signaling of a maintenance interrupt while signaling of Group 1 interrupts from the virtual CPU interface to the connected vPE is enabled:

VGrp1EIEMeaning

0b1

Maintenance interrupt signaled while the List registers contain no interrupts in the pending state.

This field resets to 0.
