PMCCFILTR, Performance Monitors Cycle Count Filter Register

The PMCCFILTR characteristics are:

Purpose

Determines the modes in which the Cycle Counter, PMCCNTR, increments.

Configuration

AArch32 System register PMCCFILTR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register PMCCFILTR_EL0[31:0] .

AArch32 System register PMCCFILTR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to External register PMCCFILTR_EL0[31:0] .

This register is present only when PMUv3 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to PMCCFILTR are UNDEFINED.

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

PMCCFILTR is a 32-bit register.

Field descriptions

The PMCCFILTR bit assignments are:

313029282726252423222120191817161514131211109876543210
PUNSKNSUNSHRES0

P, bit [31]

Privileged filtering bit. Controls counting in EL1.

If EL3 is implemented, then counting in Non-secure EL1 is further controlled by the PMCCFILTR.NSK bit.

PMeaning
0b0

Count cycles in EL1.

0b1

Do not count cycles in EL1.

On a Warm reset, this field resets to 0.

U, bit [30]

User filtering bit. Controls counting in EL0.

If EL3 is implemented, then counting in Non-secure EL0 is further controlled by the PMCCFILTR.NSU bit.

UMeaning
0b0

Count cycles in EL0.

0b1

Do not count cycles in EL0.

On a Warm reset, this field resets to 0.

NSK, bit [29]

When HaveEL(EL3):

Non-secure EL1 (kernel) modes filtering bit. Controls counting in Non-secure EL1.

If the value of this bit is equal to the value of PMCCFILTR.P, cycles in Non-secure EL1 are counted.

Otherwise, cycles in Non-secure EL1 are not counted.

On a Warm reset, this field resets to 0.


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

NSU, bit [28]

When HaveEL(EL3):

Non-secure EL0 (Unprivileged) filtering. Controls counting in Non-secure EL0.

If the value of this bit is equal to the value of PMCCFILTR.U, cycles in Non-secure EL0 are counted.

Otherwise, cycles in Non-secure EL0 are not counted.

On a Warm reset, this field resets to 0.


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

NSH, bit [27]

When HaveEL(EL2):

Non-secure EL2 (Hyp mode) filtering bit. Controls counting in Non-secure EL2.

NSHMeaning
0b0

Do not count cycles in EL2.

0b1

Count cycles in EL2.

On a Warm reset, this field resets to 0.


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

Bits [26:0]

Reserved, RES0.

Accessing the PMCCFILTR

PMCCFILTR can also be accessed by using PMXEVTYPER with PMSELR.SEL set to 0b11111.

Accesses to this register use the following encodings:

MRC{<c>}{<q>} <coproc>, {#}<opc1>, <Rt>, <CRn>, <CRm>{, {#}<opc2>}
