# ICV_PMR, Interrupt Controller Virtual Interrupt Priority Mask Register

The ICV_PMR characteristics are:

## Purpose

Provides a virtual interrupt priority filter. Only virtual interrupts with a higher priority than the value in this register are signaled to the PE.

## Configuration

AArch32 System register ICV_PMR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register ICV_PMR_EL1[31:0] .

To allow software to ensure appropriate observability of actions initiated by GIC register accesses, the PE and CPU interface logic must ensure that writes to this register are self-synchronising. This ensures that no interrupts below the written PMR value will be taken after a write to this register is architecturally executed. See Observability of the effects of accesses to the GIC registers, for more information.

Some or all RW fields of this register have defined reset values. These apply only if the PE resets into an Exception level that is using AArch32. Otherwise, RW fields in this register reset to architecturally UNKNOWN values.

## Attributes

ICV_PMR is a 32-bit register.

## Field descriptions

The ICV_PMR 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
RES0 | Priority

#### Bits [31:8]

Reserved, RES0.

#### Priority, bits [7:0]

The priority mask level for the virtual CPU interface. If the priority of a virtual interrupt is higher than the value indicated by this field, the interface signals the virtual interrupt to the PE.

The possible priority field values are as follows:

Implemented priority bits | Possible priority field values | Number of priority levels
--- | --- | ---
[7:0] | 0x00-0xFF (0-255), all values | 256
[7:1] | 0x00-0xFE (0-254), even values only | 128
[7:2] | 0x00-0xFC (0-252), in steps of 4 | 64
[7:3] | 0x00-0xF8 (0-248), in steps of 8 | 32
[7:4] | 0x00-0xF0 (0-240), in steps of 16 | 16

Unimplemented priority bits are RAZ/WI.

This field resets to 0.
