VMPIDR, Virtualization Multiprocessor ID Register

The VMPIDR characteristics are:

Purpose

Holds the value of the Virtualization Multiprocessor ID. This is the value returned by Non-secure EL1 reads of MPIDR.

Configuration

AArch32 System register VMPIDR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register VMPIDR_EL2[31:0] .

If EL2 is not implemented but EL3 is implemented, this register takes the value of the MPIDR.

Some or all RW fields of this register have defined reset values. These apply only if the PE resets into EL2 with EL2 using AArch32, or into EL3 with EL3 using AArch32. Otherwise, RW fields in this register reset to architecturally UNKNOWN values.

Attributes

VMPIDR is a 32-bit register.

Field descriptions

The VMPIDR bit assignments are:

M, bit [31]

Indicates whether this implementation includes the functionality introduced by the ARMv7 Multiprocessing Extensions. The possible values of this bit are:

In Armv8 this bit is RES1.

U, bit [30]

Indicates a Uniprocessor system, as distinct from PE 0 in a multiprocessor system. The possible values of this bit are:

In a system where the PE resets into EL2 or EL3, this field resets to the value in MPIDR.U.

Bits [29:25]

Reserved, RES0.

MT, bit [24]

Indicates whether the lowest level of affinity consists of logical PEs that are implemented using a multithreading type approach. See the description of Aff0 for more information about affinity levels. The possible values of this bit are:

In a system where the PE resets into EL2 or EL3, this field resets to the value in MPIDR.MT.

Aff2, bits [23:16]

Affinity level 2. See the description of Aff0 for more information.

In a system where the PE resets into EL2 or EL3, this field resets to the value in MPIDR.Aff2.

Aff1, bits [15:8]

Affinity level 1. See the description of Aff0 for more information.

In a system where the PE resets into EL2 or EL3, this field resets to the value in MPIDR.Aff1.

Aff0, bits [7:0]

Affinity level 0. This is the affinity level that is most significant for determining PE behavior. Higher affinity levels are increasingly less significant in determining PE behavior. The assigned value of the MPIDR.{Aff2, Aff1, Aff0} or MPIDR_EL1.{Aff3, Aff2, Aff1, Aff0} set of fields of each PE must be unique within the system as a whole.

In a system where the PE resets into EL2 or EL3, this field resets to the value in MPIDR.Aff0.
