VDFSR, Virtual SError Exception Syndrome Register
The VDFSR characteristics are:
Purpose
Provides the syndrome value reported to software on taking a virtual SError interrupt exception to EL1, or on executing an ESB instruction at EL1.
When a virtual SError interrupt is taken, the syndrome value is reported in DFSR.{AET, ExT} and the remainder of the DFSR is set as defined by VMSAv8-32. For more information, see The AArch32 Virtual Memory System Architecture.
If the virtual SError interrupt is deferred by an ESB instruction, then the syndrome value is written to VDISR.
Configuration
AArch32 System register VDFSR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register VSESR_EL2[31:0] when the highest implemented Exception level is using AArch64.
This register is present only when RAS is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to VDFSR are UNDEFINED.
If EL2 is not implemented, then VDFSR is RES0 from Monitor mode when SCR.NS == 1.
RW fields in this register reset to architecturally UNKNOWN values.
Attributes
VDFSR is a 32-bit register.
Field descriptions
The VDFSR bit assignments are:
Bits [31:16]
Reserved, RES0.
AET, bits [15:14]
When a virtual SError interrupt is taken to EL1 using AArch32, DFSR[15:4] is set to VDFSR.AET.
When a virtual SError interrupt is deferred by an ESB instruction, VDISR[15:4] is set to VDFSR.AET.
This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.
Bit [13]
Reserved, RES0.
ExT, bit [12]
When a virtual SError interrupt is taken to EL1 using AArch32, DFSR[12] is set to VDFSR.ExT.
When a virtual SError interrupt is deferred by an ESB instruction, VDISR[12] is set to VDFSR.ExT.
This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.
Bits [11:0]
Reserved, RES0.
Accessing the VDFSR
Direct reads and writes of VDFSR are UNDEFINED if EL3 is implemented and using AArch32 in all Secure privileged modes other than Monitor mode.
If EL2 is not implemented, then VDFSR is RES0 from Monitor mode when SCR.NS == 1.
Accesses to this register use the following encodings:
