ICC_PMR, Interrupt Controller Interrupt Priority Mask Register

The ICC_PMR characteristics are:

Purpose

Provides an interrupt priority filter. Only interrupts with a higher priority than the value in this register are signaled to the PE.

Configuration

AArch32 System register ICC_PMR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register ICC_PMR_EL1[31:0] .

This register is present only when AArch32 is supported at any Exception level. Otherwise, direct accesses to ICC_PMR are UNDEFINED.

To allow software to ensure appropriate observability of actions initiated by GIC register accesses, the PE and CPU interface logic must ensure that writes to this register are self-synchronising. This ensures that no interrupts below the written PMR value will be taken after a write to this register is architecturally executed. For more information, see 'Observability of the effects of accesses to the GIC registers' in ARM® Generic Interrupt Controller Architecture Specification, GIC architecture version 3.0 and version 4.0 (ARM IHI 0069).

Attributes

ICC_PMR is a 32-bit register.

Field descriptions

The ICC_PMR bit assignments are:

31	30	29	28	27	26	25	24	23	22	21	20	19	18	17	16	15	14	13	12	11	10	9	8	7	6	5	4	3	2	1	0
RES0																								Priority

Bits [31:8]

Reserved, RES0.

Priority, bits [7:0]

The priority mask level for the CPU interface. If the priority of an interrupt is higher than the value indicated by this field, the interface signals the interrupt to the PE.

The possible priority field values are as follows:

Implemented priority bits	Possible priority field values	Number of priority levels
[7:0]	0x00-0xFF (0-255), all values	256
[7:1]	0x00-0xFE (0-254), even values only	128
[7:2]	0x00-0xFC (0-252), in steps of 4	64
[7:3]	0x00-0xF8 (0-248), in steps of 8	32
[7:4]	0x00-0xF0 (0-240), in steps of 16	16

Unimplemented priority bits are RAZ/WI.

This field resets to 0.

Accessing the ICC_PMR

Accesses to this register use the following encodings:
