PMSCR_EL1, Statistical Profiling Control Register (EL1)

The PMSCR_EL1 characteristics are:

Purpose

Provides EL1 controls for Statistical Profiling

Configuration

This register is present only when SPE is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to PMSCR_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

PMSCR_EL1 is a 64-bit register.

Bits [63:7]

Reserved, RES0.

PCT, bit [6]

When HaveEL(EL2):

Physical Timestamp.

If timestamp sampling is enabled, determines which counter is collected.

PCTMeaning
0b0

Virtual counter, CNTVCT_EL0, is collected.

0b1

Physical counter, CNTPCT_EL0, is collected.

If EL2 is implemented and enabled in the current Security state:

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


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES1.

TS, bit [5]

Timestamp Enable.

TSMeaning
0b0

Timestamp sampling disabled.

0b1

Timestamp sampling enabled.

If EL2 is implemented and enabled in the current Security state, this bit is ignored by the PE when MDCR_EL2.E2PB == 0b00.

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

PA, bit [4]

Physical Address Sample Enable.

PAMeaning
0b0

Physical addresses are not collected.

0b1

Physical addresses are collected.

If EL2 is implemented and enabled in the current Security state:

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

CX, bit [3]

CONTEXTIDR_EL1 Sample Enable.

CXMeaning
0b0

CONTEXTIDR_EL1 is not collected.

0b1

CONTEXTIDR_EL1 is collected.

If EL2 is implemented and enabled in the current Security state:

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

Bit [2]

Reserved, RES0.

E1SPE, bit [1]

EL1 Statistical Profiling Enable.

E1SPEMeaning
0b0

Sampling disabled at EL1.

0b1

Sampling enabled at EL1.

If EL2 is implemented and enabled in the current Security state, this bit is ignored by the PE when HCR_EL2.TGE == 1.

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

E0SPE, bit [0]

EL0 Statistical Profiling Enable. Controls sampling at EL0 when HCR_EL2.TGE == 0 or if EL2 is disabled or not implemented.

E0SPEMeaning
0b0

Sampling disabled at EL0.

0b1

Sampling enabled at EL0.

If EL2 is implemented and enabled in the current Security state, this bit is ignored by the PE when HCR_EL2.TGE == 1.

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