PMSWINC, Performance Monitors Software Increment register

The PMSWINC characteristics are:

Purpose

Increments a counter that is configured to count the Software increment event, event 0x00. For more information, see 'SW_INCR' in the Arm® Architecture Reference Manual, Armv8, for Armv8-A architecture profile, section D5.

Configuration

AArch32 System register PMSWINC bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register PMSWINC_EL0[31:0] .

AArch32 System register PMSWINC bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to External register PMSWINC_EL0[31:0] .

Attributes

PMSWINC is a 32-bit register.

Field descriptions

The PMSWINC bit assignments are:

313029282726252423222120191817161514131211109876543210
0P<n>, bit [n]

Bit [31]

Reserved, RES0.

P<n>, bit [n], for n = 0 to 30

Event counter software increment bit for PMEVCNTR<n>.

If N is less than 31, then bits [30:N] are WI. When EL2 is implemented and enabled in the current Security state, in EL1 and EL0, N is the value in MDCR_EL2.HPMN if EL2 is using AArch64, or in HDCR.HPMN if EL2 is using AArch32. Otherwise, N is the value in PMCR.N.

P<n>Meaning
0b0

No action. The write to this bit is ignored.

0b1

If PMEVCNTR<n> is enabled and configured to count the software increment event, increments PMEVCNTR<n> by 1. If PMEVCNTR<n> is disabled, or not configured to count the software increment event, the write to this bit is ignored.

Accessing the PMSWINC

Accesses to this register use the following encodings:

MCR{<c>}{<q>} <coproc>, {#}<opc1>, <Rt>, <CRn>, <CRm>{, {#}<opc2>}
