AMAIR_EL2, Auxiliary Memory Attribute Indirection Register (EL2)

The AMAIR_EL2 characteristics are:

Purpose

Provides IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED memory attributes for the memory regions specified by MAIR_EL2.

Configuration

AArch64 System register AMAIR_EL2 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register HAMAIR0[31:0] .

AArch64 System register AMAIR_EL2 bits [63:32] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register HAMAIR1[31:0] .

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

This register has no effect if EL2 is not enabled in the current Security state.

RW fields in this register reset to architecturally UNKNOWN values.

Attributes

AMAIR_EL2 is a 64-bit register.

Field descriptions

The AMAIR_EL2 bit assignments are:

AMAIR_EL2 is permitted to be cached in a TLB.

IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED, bits [63:0]

IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED.

This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

Accessing the AMAIR_EL2

AMAIR_EL2 is permitted to be cached in a TLB.

When HCR_EL2.E2H is 1, without explicit synchronization, access from EL2 using the mnemonic AMAIR_EL2 or AMAIR_EL1 are not guaranteed to be ordered with respect to accesses using the other mnemonic.

Accesses to this register use the following encodings:
