The MPIDR characteristics are:
In a multiprocessor system, provides an additional PE identification mechanism for scheduling purposes.
AArch32 System register MPIDR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register MPIDR_EL1[31:0] .
In a uniprocessor system Arm recommends that each Aff<n> field of this register returns a value of 0.
MPIDR is a 32-bit register.
The MPIDR bit assignments are:
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 |
M | U | MT | Aff2 | Aff1 | Aff0 |
Indicates whether this implementation includes the functionality introduced by the ARMv7 Multiprocessing Extensions. The possible values of this bit are:
M | Meaning |
---|---|
0b0 | This implementation does not include the ARMv7 Multiprocessing Extensions functionality. |
0b1 | This implementation includes the ARMv7 Multiprocessing Extensions functionality. |
In Armv8, this bit is RAO.
In Armv8 this bit is RES1.
Indicates a Uniprocessor system, as distinct from PE 0 in a multiprocessor system. The possible values of this bit are:
U | Meaning |
---|---|
0b0 | Processor is part of a multiprocessor system. |
0b1 | Processor is part of a uniprocessor system. |
Reserved, RES0.
Indicates whether the lowest level of affinity consists of logical PEs that are implemented using a multithreading type approach. See the description of Aff0 for more information about affinity levels. The possible values of this bit are:
MT | Meaning |
---|---|
0b0 | Performance of PEs at the lowest affinity level is largely independent. |
0b1 | Performance of PEs at the lowest affinity level is very interdependent. |
Affinity level 2. See the description of Aff0 for more information.
Affinity level 1. See the description of Aff0 for more information.
Affinity level 0. This is the affinity level that is most significant for determining PE behavior. Higher affinity levels are increasingly less significant in determining PE behavior. The assigned value of the MPIDR.{Aff2, Aff1, Aff0} or MPIDR_EL1.{Aff3, Aff2, Aff1, Aff0} set of fields of each PE must be unique within the system as a whole.
Accesses to this register use the following encodings:
coproc | opc1 | CRn | CRm | opc2 |
