HIFAR, Hyp Instruction Fault Address Register

The HIFAR characteristics are:

Purpose

Holds the virtual address of the faulting address that caused a synchronous Prefetch Abort exception that is taken to Hyp mode.

Configuration

AArch32 System register HIFAR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register FAR_EL2[63:32] .

AArch32 System register HIFAR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register IFAR[31:0] (S) when EL2 is implemented, EL3 is implemented and the highest implemented Exception level is using AArch32 state.

This register is present only when AArch32 is supported at any Exception level. Otherwise, direct accesses to HIFAR are UNDEFINED.

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

Attributes

HIFAR is a 32-bit register.

Field descriptions

The HIFAR bit assignments are:

313029282726252423222120191817161514131211109876543210
VA of faulting address of synchronous Prefetch Abort exception taken to Hyp mode

Bits [31:0]

VA of faulting address of synchronous Prefetch Abort exception taken to Hyp mode.

On a Data Abort exception, this register is UNKNOWN.

Any execution in a Non-secure EL1 or Non-secure EL0 mode makes this register UNKNOWN.

This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

Accessing the HIFAR

Accesses to this register use the following encodings:

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