PMEVTYPER<n>, Performance Monitors Event Type Registers, n = 0 - 30

The PMEVTYPER<n> characteristics are:

Purpose

Configures event counter n, where n is 0 to 30.

Configuration

AArch32 System register PMEVTYPER<n> bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register PMEVTYPER<n>_EL0[31:0].

AArch32 System register PMEVTYPER<n> bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to External register PMEVTYPER<n>_EL0[31:0].

This register is present only when AArch32 is supported and FEAT_PMUv3 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to PMEVTYPER<n> are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

PMEVTYPER<n> is a 32-bit register.

PUNSKNSUNSHRES0MTRES0evtCount[15:10]evtCount[9:0]

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 PMEVTYPER<n>.NSK bit.

PMeaning
0b0

Count events in EL1.

0b1

Do not count events in EL1.

The reset behavior 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 PMEVTYPER<n>.NSU bit.

UMeaning
0b0

Count events in EL0.

0b1

Do not count events in EL0.

The reset behavior 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 PMEVTYPER<n>.P, events in Non-secure EL1 are counted.

Otherwise, events in Non-secure EL1 are not counted.

The reset behavior 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 PMEVTYPER<n>.U, events in Non-secure EL0 are counted.

Otherwise, events in Non-secure EL0 are not counted.

The reset behavior 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 events in EL2.

0b1

Count events in EL2.

The reset behavior of this field is:


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

Bit [26]

Reserved, RES0.

MT, bit [25]
When FEAT_MTPMU is implemented or an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED multi-threaded PMU extension is implemented:

Multithreading.

MTMeaning
0b0

Count events only on controlling PE.

0b1

Count events from any PE with the same affinity at level 1 and above as this PE.

From Armv8.6, the IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED multi-threaded PMU extension is not permitted, meaning if FEAT_MTPMU is not implemented, this bit is RES0. See ID_DFR1.MTPMU.

This bit is ignored by the PE and treated as zero when FEAT_MTPMU is implemented and Disabled.

The reset behavior of this field is:


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

Bits [24:16]

Reserved, RES0.

evtCount[15:10], bits [15:10]
When FEAT_PMUv3p1 is implemented:

Extension to evtCount[9:0]. For more information, see evtCount[9:0].

The reset behavior of this field is:


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

evtCount[9:0], bits [9:0]

Event to count. The event number of the event that is counted by event counter PMEVCNTR<n>.

Software must program this field with an event that is supported by the PE being programmed.

The ranges of event numbers allocated to each type of event are shown in 'Allocation of the PMU event number space'.

If evtCount is programmed to an event that is reserved or not supported by the PE, the behavior depends on the value written:

Note

UNPREDICTABLE means the event must not expose privileged information.

Arm recommends that the behavior across a family of implementations is defined such that if a given implementation does not include an event from a set of common IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED events, then no event is counted and the value read back on evtCount is the value written.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Accessing PMEVTYPER<n>

PMEVTYPER<n> can also be accessed by using PMXEVTYPER with PMSELR.SEL set to n.

If FEAT_FGT is implemented and <n> is greater than or equal to the number of accessible event counters, then the behavior of permitted reads and writes of PMEVTYPER<n> is as follows:

If FEAT_FGT is not implemented and <n> is greater than or equal to the number of accessible event counters, then reads and writes of PMEVTYPER<n> are CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE, and the following behaviors are permitted:

Note

In EL0, an access is permitted if it is enabled by PMUSERENR.EN or PMUSERENR_EL0.EN.

If EL2 is implemented and enabled in the current Security state, at EL0 and EL1:

Otherwise, the number of accessible event counters is the number of implemented event counters. For more information, see HDCR.HPMN and MDCR_EL2.HPMN.

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