The GICR_PROPBASER characteristics are:
Specifies the base address of the LPI Configuration table, and the Shareability and Cacheability of accesses to the LPI Configuration table.
RW fields in this register reset to architecturally UNKNOWN values.
A copy of this register is provided for each Redistributor.
An implementation might make this register RO, for example to correspond to an LPI Configuration table in read-only memory.
GICR_PROPBASER is a 64-bit register.
The GICR_PROPBASER 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 |

Reserved, RES0.
Indicates the Outer Cacheability attributes of accesses to the LPI Configuration table. The possible values of this field are:
OuterCache | Meaning |
---|---|
0b000 |
Memory type defined in InnerCache field. For Normal memory, Outer Cacheability is the same as Inner Cacheability. |
0b001 |
Normal Outer Non-cacheable. |
0b010 |
Normal Outer Cacheable Read-allocate, Write-through. |
0b011 |
Normal Outer Cacheable Read-allocate, Write-back. |
0b100 |
Normal Outer Cacheable Write-allocate, Write-through. |
0b101 |
Normal Outer Cacheable Write-allocate, Write-back. |
0b110 |
Normal Outer Cacheable Read-allocate, Write-allocate, Write-through. |
0b111 |
Normal Outer Cacheable Read-allocate, Write-allocate, Write-back. |
It is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether this field has a fixed value or can be programmed by software. Implementing this field with a fixed value is deprecated.
This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.
Reserved, RES0.
Bits [51:12] of the physical address containing the LPI Configuration table.
In implementations supporting fewer than 52 bits of physical address, unimplemented upper bits are RES0.
This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.
Indicates the Shareability attributes of accesses to the LPI Configuration table. The possible values of this field are:
Shareability | Meaning |
---|---|
0b00 |
Non-shareable. |
0b01 |
Inner Shareable. |
0b10 |
Outer Shareable. |
0b11 |
Reserved. Treated as 0b00. |
It is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether this field has a fixed value or can be programmed by software. Implementing this field with a fixed value is deprecated.
This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.
Indicates the Inner Cacheability attributes of accesses to the LPI Configuration table. The possible values of this field are:
InnerCache | Meaning |
---|---|
0b000 |
Device-nGnRnE. |
0b001 |
Normal Inner Non-cacheable. |
0b010 |
Normal Inner Cacheable Read-allocate, Write-through. |
0b011 |
Normal Inner Cacheable Read-allocate, Write-back. |
0b100 |
Normal Inner Cacheable Write-allocate, Write-through. |
0b101 |
Normal Inner Cacheable Write-allocate, Write-back. |
0b110 |
Normal Inner Cacheable Read-allocate, Write-allocate, Write-through. |
0b111 |
Normal Inner Cacheable Read-allocate, Write-allocate, Write-back. |
This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.
Reserved, RES0.
The number of bits of LPI INTID supported, minus one, by the LPI Configuration table starting at Physical_Address.
If the value of this field is larger than the value of GICD_TYPER.IDbits, the GICD_TYPER.IDbits value applies.
If the value of this field is less than 0b1101, indicating that the largest INTID is less than 8192 (the smallest LPI interrupt ID), the GIC will behave as if all physical LPIs are out of range.
This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.
It is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether GICR_PROPBASER can be set to different values on different Redistributors. GICR_TYPER.CommonLPIAff identifies the Redistributors that must have GICR_PROPBASER set to the same values whenever GICR_CTLR.EnableLPIs == 1.
Setting different values in different copies of GICR_PROPBASER on Redistributors that are required to use a common LPI Configuration table when GICR_CTLR.EnableLPIs == 1 leads to UNPREDICTABLE behavior.
Other restrictions apply when a Redistributor caches information from GICR_PROPBASER. See LPI Configuration tables for more information.
