The SP_EL3 characteristics are:
Holds the stack pointer associated with EL3. When executing at EL3, the value of SPSel.SP determines the current stack pointer:
SPSel.SP | Current stack pointer |
---|---|
0b0 | SP_EL0 |
0b1 | SP_EL3 |
This register is present only when HaveEL(EL3). Otherwise, direct accesses to SP_EL3 are UNDEFINED.
RW fields in this register reset to architecturally UNKNOWN values.
SP_EL3 is a 64-bit register.
The SP_EL3 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 |

Stack pointer.
This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.
This register is not accessible using MRS and MSR instructions.
When the value of SPSel.SP is 1, this register is accessible at EL3 as the current stack pointer.
