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 AArch32 is supported at EL0 and FEAT_PMUv3 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to PMCCFILTR are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

PMCCFILTR is a 32-bit register.

PUNSKNSUNSHRES0RLURES0

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.

The reset behaviour of this field is:

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.

If FEAT_RME is implemented, then counting in Realm EL0 is further controlled by the PMCCFILTR.RLU bit.

UMeaning
0b0

Count cycles in EL0.

0b1

Do not count cycles in EL0.

The reset behaviour of this field is:

NSK, bit [29]
When EL3 is implemented:

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.

The reset behaviour of this field is:


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

NSU, bit [28]
When EL3 is implemented:

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.

The reset behaviour of this field is:


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

NSH, bit [27]
When EL2 is implemented:

EL2 (Hyp mode) filtering bit. Controls counting in EL2.

NSHMeaning
0b0

Do not count cycles in EL2.

0b1

Count cycles in EL2.

The reset behaviour of this field is:


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

Bits [26:22]

Reserved, RES0.

RLU, bit [21]
When FEAT_RME is implemented:

Realm EL0 (unprivileged) filtering bit. Controls counting in Realm EL0.

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

Otherwise, cycles in Realm EL0 are not counted.

The reset behaviour of this field is:


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

Bits [20:0]

Reserved, RES0.

Accessing PMCCFILTR

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

Accesses to this register use the following encodings in the System register encoding space:

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