ICH_HCR, Interrupt Controller Hyp Control Register

The ICH_HCR characteristics are:

Purpose

Controls the environment for VMs.

Configuration

AArch32 System register ICH_HCR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register ICH_HCR_EL2[31:0] .

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

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

Attributes

ICH_HCR is a 32-bit register.

Field descriptions

The ICH_HCR bit assignments are:

EOIcount, bits [31:27]

This field is incremented whenever a successful write to a virtual EOIR or DIR register would have resulted in a virtual interrupt deactivation. That is either:

• A virtual write to EOIR with a valid interrupt identifier that is not in the LPI range (that is < 8192) when EOI mode is zero and no List Register was found.
• A virtual write to DIR with a valid interrupt identifier that is not in the LPI range (that is < 8192) when EOI mode is one and no List Register was found.

This allows software to manage more active interrupts than there are implemented List Registers.

It is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE whether a virtual write to EOIR that does not clear a bit in the Active Priorities registers (ICH_AP0R<n>/ICH_AP1R<n>) increments EOIcount. Permitted behaviors are:

• Increment EOIcount.
• Leave EOIcount unchanged.

This field resets to 0.

Bits [26:15]

Reserved, RES0.

TDIR, bit [14]

Trap Non-secure EL1 writes to ICC_DIR and ICV_DIR.

Support for this bit is OPTIONAL, with support indicated by ICH_VTR.

If the implementation does not support this trap, this bit is RES0.

Arm deprecates not including this trap bit.

This field resets to 0.

TSEI, bit [13]

Trap all locally generated SEIs. This bit allows the hypervisor to intercept locally generated SEIs that would otherwise be taken at Non-secure EL1.

If ICH_VTR.SEIS is 0, this bit is RES0.

This field resets to 0.

TALL1, bit [12]

Trap all Non-secure EL1 accesses to ICC_* and ICV_* System registers for Group 1 interrupts to EL2.

This field resets to 0.

TALL0, bit [11]

Trap all Non-secure EL1 accesses to ICC_* and ICV_* System registers for Group 0 interrupts to EL2.

This field resets to 0.

TC, bit [10]

Trap all Non-secure EL1 accesses to System registers that are common to Group 0 and Group 1 to EL2.

This affects accesses to ICC_SGI0R, ICC_SGI1R, ICC_ASGI1R, ICC_CTLR, ICC_DIR, ICC_PMR, ICC_RPR, ICV_CTLR, ICV_DIR, ICV_PMR, and ICV_RPR.

This field resets to 0.

Bit [9]

Reserved, RES0.

vSGIEOICount, bit [8]

When FEAT_GICv4p1 is implemented:

Controls whether deactivation of virtual SGIs can increment ICH_HCR_EL2.EOIcount

This field resets to 0.

Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

VGrp1DIE, bit [7]

VM Group 1 Disabled Interrupt Enable. Enables the signaling of a maintenance interrupt while signaling of Group 1 interrupts from the virtual CPU interface to the connected vPE is disabled:

This field resets to 0.

VGrp1EIE, bit [6]

VM Group 1 Enabled Interrupt Enable. Enables the signaling of a maintenance interrupt while signaling of Group 1 interrupts from the virtual CPU interface to the connected vPE is enabled:

This field resets to 0.

VGrp0DIE, bit [5]

VM Group 0 Disabled Interrupt Enable. Enables the signaling of a maintenance interrupt while signaling of Group 0 interrupts from the virtual CPU interface to the connected vPE is disabled:

This field resets to 0.

VGrp0EIE, bit [4]

VM Group 0 Enabled Interrupt Enable. Enables the signaling of a maintenance interrupt while signaling of Group 0 interrupts from the virtual CPU interface to the connected vPE is enabled:

This field resets to 0.

NPIE, bit [3]

No Pending Interrupt Enable. Enables the signaling of a maintenance interrupt when there are no List registers with the State field set to 0b01 (pending):

This field resets to 0.

LRENPIE, bit [2]

List Register Entry Not Present Interrupt Enable. Enables the signaling of a maintenance interrupt while the virtual CPU interface does not have a corresponding valid List register entry for an EOI request:

This field resets to 0.

UIE, bit [1]

Underflow Interrupt Enable. Enables the signaling of a maintenance interrupt when the List registers are empty, or hold only one valid entry:

This field resets to 0.

En, bit [0]

Enable. Global enable bit for the virtual CPU interface:

When this field is set to 0:

• The virtual CPU interface does not signal any maintenance interrupts.
• The virtual CPU interface does not signal any virtual interrupts.
• A read of ICV_IAR0, ICV_IAR1, GICV_IAR or GICV_AIAR returns a spurious interrupt ID.

This field resets to 0.
