PMSELR_EL0, Performance Monitors Event Counter Selection Register

The PMSELR_EL0 characteristics are:

Purpose

Selects the current event counter PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0 or the cycle counter, CCNT.

PMSELR_EL0 is used in conjunction with PMXEVTYPER_EL0 to determine the event that increments a selected event counter, and the modes and states in which the selected counter increments.

It is also used in conjunction with PMXEVCNTR_EL0, to determine the value of a selected event counter.

Configuration

AArch64 System register PMSELR_EL0 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register PMSELR[31:0].

This register is present only when FEAT_PMUv3 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to PMSELR_EL0 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

PMSELR_EL0 is a 64-bit register.

Reserved, RES0.

SEL, bits [4:0]

Selects event counter, PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0, where n is the value held in this field. This value identifies which event counter is accessed when a subsequent access to PMXEVTYPER_EL0 or PMXEVCNTR_EL0 occurs.

This field can take any value from 0 (0b00000) to (PMCR.N)-1, or 31 (0b11111).

When PMSELR_EL0.SEL is 0b11111, it selects the cycle counter and:

For more information about the results of accesses to the event counters, see PMXEVTYPER_EL0 and PMXEVCNTR_EL0.

For more information about the number of counters accessible at each Exception level, see MDCR_EL2.HPMN.
