HMAIR1, Hyp Memory Attribute Indirection Register 1

The HMAIR1 characteristics are:

Purpose

Along with HMAIR0, provides the memory attribute encodings corresponding to the possible AttrIndx values in a Long-descriptor format translation table entry for stage 1 translations for memory accesses from Hyp mode.

AttrIndx[2] indicates the HMAIR register to be used:

  • When AttrIndx[2] is 0, HMAIR0 is used.
  • When AttrIndx[2] is 1, HMAIR1 is used.

Configuration

AArch32 System register HMAIR1 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register MAIR_EL2[63:32] .

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

RW fields in this register reset to architecturally UNKNOWN values.

Attributes

HMAIR1 is a 32-bit register.

Field descriptions

The HMAIR1 bit assignments are:

When TTBCR.EAE == 1:

Attr7Attr6Attr5Attr4

Attr<n>, bits [8(n-4)+7:8(n-4)], for n = 4 to 7

The memory attribute encoding for an AttrIndx[2:0] entry in a Long descriptor format translation table entry, where:

  • AttrIndx[2:0] gives the value of <n> in Attr<n>.
  • AttrIndx[2] defines which MAIR to access. Attr7 to Attr4 are in MAIR1, and Attr3 to Attr0 are in MAIR0.

Bits [7:4] are encoded as follows:

Attr<n>[7:4]Meaning
0b0000Device memory. See encoding of Attr<n>[3:0] for the type of Device memory.
0b00RW, RW not 0b00Normal memory, Outer Write-Through Transient.
0b0100Normal memory, Outer Non-cacheable.
0b01RW, RW not 0b00Normal memory, Outer Write-Back Transient.
0b10RWNormal memory, Outer Write-Through Non-transient.
0b11RWNormal memory, Outer Write-Back Non-transient.

R = Outer Read-Allocate policy, W = Outer Write-Allocate policy.

The meaning of bits [3:0] depends on the value of bits [7:4]:

Attr<n>[3:0]Meaning when Attr<n>[7:4] is 0b0000Meaning when Attr<n>[7:4] is not 0b0000
0b0000Device-nGnRnE memoryUNPREDICTABLE
0b00RW, RW not 0b00UNPREDICTABLENormal memory, Inner Write-Through Transient
0b0100Device-nGnRE memoryNormal memory, Inner Non-cacheable
0b01RW, RW not 0b00UNPREDICTABLENormal memory, Inner Write-Back Transient
0b1000Device-nGRE memoryNormal memory, Inner Write-Through Non-transient (RW=0b00)
0b10RW, RW not 0b00UNPREDICTABLENormal memory, Inner Write-Through Non-transient
0b1100Device-GRE memoryNormal memory, Inner Write-Back Non-transient (RW=0b00)
0b11RW, RW not 0b00UNPREDICTABLENormal memory, Inner Write-Back Non-transient

R = Inner Read-Allocate policy, W = Inner Write-Allocate policy.

The R and W bits in some Attr<n> fields have the following meanings:

R or WMeaning
0b0No Allocate
0b1Allocate

This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

Accessing the HMAIR1

Accesses to this register use the following encodings:
