PMCID2SR, CONTEXTIDR_EL2 Sample Register

The PMCID2SR characteristics are:

Purpose

Contains the sampled value of CONTEXTIDR_EL2, captured on reading PMPCSR[31:0].

Configuration

PMCID2SR is in the Core power domain.

This register is present only when FEAT_PCSRv8p2 is implemented and EL2 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to PMCID2SR are RES0.

Note

If FEAT_PCSRv8p2 is not implemented, the PC Sample-based Profiling Extension can be implemented in the external debug register space, as indicated by the value of EDDEVID.PCSample.

Attributes

PMCID2SR is a 32-bit register.

Field descriptions

The PMCID2SR bit assignments are:

CONTEXTIDR_EL2

CONTEXTIDR_EL2, bits [31:0]

Context ID. The value of CONTEXTIDR_EL2 that is associated with the most recent PMPCSR sample. When the most recent PMPCSR sample was generated:

Because the value written to PMCID2SR is an indirect read of CONTEXTIDR_EL2, it is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE whether PMCID2SR is set to the original or new value if PMPCSR samples:

On a Cold reset, this field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

Accessing the PMCID2SR

IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED extensions to external debug might make the value of this register UNKNOWN, see 'Permitted behavior that might make the PC Sample-based profiling registers UNKNOWN'.

PMCID2SR can be accessed through the external debug interface:
