SMCR_EL2, SME Control Register (EL2)

The SMCR_EL2 characteristics are:

Purpose

This register controls aspects of Streaming SVE that are visible at Exception levels EL2, EL1, and EL0.

Configuration

This register is present only when FEAT_SME is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to SMCR_EL2 are UNDEFINED.

This register has no effect if the PE is not in Streaming SVE mode, or if EL2 is not enabled in the current Security state.

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

Attributes

SMCR_EL2 is a 64-bit register.

LEN, bits [3:0]

Effective Streaming SVE Vector Length (SVL).

Constrains the effective Streaming SVE vector register length for EL2, EL1, and EL0 to (LEN+1)*128 bits when EL2 is enabled in the current Security state and when the PE is in Streaming SVE mode.

For all purposes other than returning the result of a direct read of SMCR_EL2, this field selects the effective vector length as follows:

An indirect read of SMCR_EL2.LEN appears to occur in program order relative to a direct write of the same register, without the need for explicit synchronization.

The reset behaviour of this field is:

Accessing SMCR_EL2

When HCR_EL2.E2H is 1, without explicit synchronization, access from EL2 using the mnemonic SMCR_EL2 or SMCR_EL1 are not guaranteed to be ordered with respect to accesses using the other mnemonic.

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