Threshold Control. Defines the threshold function. In the description of this field, the value V is the value the event specified by PMEVTYPER<n>_EL0 would increment the counter by on a processor cycle if the threshold function is disabled. Comparisons treat V and PMEVTYPER<n>_EL0.TH as unsigned integer values.
TC | Meaning |
---|---|
0b000 |
Not-equal. The counter increments by V on each processor cycle when V is not equal to PMEVTYPER<n>_EL0.TH. If PMEVTYPER<n>_EL0.TH is zero, the threshold function is disabled. |
0b001 |
Not-equal, count. The counter increments by 1 on each processor cycle when V is not equal to PMEVTYPER<n>_EL0.TH. |
0b010 |
Equals. The counter increments by V on each processor cycle when V is equal to PMEVTYPER<n>_EL0.TH. |
0b011 |
Equals, count. The counter increments by 1 on each processor cycle when V is equal to PMEVTYPER<n>_EL0.TH. |
0b100 |
Greater-than-or-equal. The counter increments by V on each processor cycle when V is PMEVTYPER<n>_EL0.TH or more. |
0b101 |
Greater-than-or-equal, count. The counter increments by 1 on each processor cycle when V is PMEVTYPER<n>_EL0.TH or more. |
0b110 |
Less-than. The counter increments by V on each processor cycle when V is less than PMEVTYPER<n>_EL0.TH. |
0b111 |
Less-than, count. The counter increments by 1 on each processor cycle when V is less than PMEVTYPER<n>_EL0.TH. |
The reset behavior of this field is:

Threshold value. Provides the unsigned value for the threshold function defined by PMEVTYPER<n>_EL0.TC.
If PMEVTYPER<n>_EL0.TC is 0b000 and PMEVTYPER<n>_EL0.TH is zero, then the threshold function is disabled.
If PMMIR_EL1.THWIDTH is less than 12, then bits PMEVTYPER<n>_EL0.TH[11:PMMIR_EL1.THWIDTH] are RES0. This accounts for the behavior when writing a value greater-than-or-equal-to 2(PMMIR_EL1.THWIDTH).
The reset behavior of this field is:

From Armv8.6, the IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED multi-threaded PMU extension is not permitted, meaning if FEAT_MTPMU is not implemented, this field is RES0. See ID_AA64DFR0_EL1.MTPMU.
This field is ignored by the PE and treated as zero when FEAT_MTPMU is implemented and Disabled.
The reset behavior of this field is:

Reserved, RES0.
Event to count.
The event number of the event that is counted by event counter PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0.
The ranges of event numbers allocated to each type of event are shown in 'Allocation of the PMU event number space'.
If FEAT_PMUv3p8 is implemented and PMEVTYPER<n>_EL0.evtCount is programmed to an event that is reserved or not supported by the PE, no events are counted and the value returned by a direct or external read of the PMEVTYPER<n>_EL0.evtCount field is the value written to the field.
Otherwise, if PMEVTYPER<n>_EL0.evtCount is programmed to an event that is reserved or not supported by the PE, the behavior depends on the value written:
UNPREDICTABLE means the event must not expose privileged information.
Arm recommends that for all values that represent reserved or unsupported events, no events are counted and the value returned by a direct or external read of the PMEVTYPER<n>_EL0.evtCount field is the value written to the field.
The reset behavior of this field is:
PMEVTYPER<n>_EL0 can also be accessed by using PMXEVTYPER_EL0 with PMSELR_EL0.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>_EL0 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>_EL0 are CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE, and the following behaviors are permitted:
In EL0, an access is permitted if it is enabled by PMUSERENR_EL0.EN.
If EL2 is implemented and enabled in the current Security state, in EL1 and EL0, MDCR_EL2.HPMN identifies the number of accessible event counters. Otherwise, the number of accessible event counters is the number of implemented event counters. For more information, see MDCR_EL2.HPMN.
