The PMSICR_EL1 characteristics are:
Software must write zero to PMSICR_EL1 before enabling sample profiling for a sampling session. Software must then treat PMSICR_EL1 as an opaque, 64-bit, read/write register used for context switches only.
This register is present only when FEAT_SPE is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to PMSICR_EL1 are UNDEFINED.
The value of PMSICR_EL1 does not change whilst profiling is disabled.
The PMSICR_EL1 bit assignments are:

Secondary sample interval counter.
This field provides the secondary counter used after the primary counter reaches zero. Whilst the secondary counter is nonzero and profiling is enabled, the secondary counter decrements by 1 for each member of the sample population. The primary counter also continues to decrement since it is also nonzero. When the secondary counter reaches zero, a member of the sampling population is selected for sampling.
On a Warm reset, this field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.
Reserved, RES0.

Primary sample interval counter
Provides the primary counter used for sampling.
The primary counter is reloaded when the value of this register is zero and the PE moves from a state or Exception level where profiling is disabled to a state or Exception level where profiling is enabled
Whilst the primary counter is nonzero and sampling is enabled, the primary counter decrements by 1 for each member of the sample population
When the counter reaches zero, the behavior depends on the values of PMSIDR_EL1.ERnd and PMSIRR_EL1.RND
On a Warm reset, this field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.
Accesses to this register use the following encodings:
