TTBR1_EL2, Translation Table Base Register 1 (EL2)
The TTBR1_EL2 characteristics are:
Purpose
When HCR_EL2.E2H is 1, holds the base address of the translation table for the initial lookup for stage 1 of the translation of an address from the higher VA range in the EL2&0 translation regime, and other information for this translation regime.
When HCR_EL2.E2H is 0, the contents of this register are ignored by the PE, except for a direct read or write of the register.
Configuration
This register is present only when ARMv8.1-VHE is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to TTBR1_EL2 are UNDEFINED.
If EL2 is not implemented, this register is RES0 from EL3.
This register has no effect if EL2 is not enabled in the current Security state.
Attributes
TTBR1_EL2 is a 64-bit register.

ASID, bits [63:48]
An ASID for the translation table base address. The TCR_EL2.A1 field selects either TTBR0_EL2.ASID or TTBR1_EL2.ASID.
If the implementation has only 8 bits of ASID, then the upper 8 bits of this field are RES0.
This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.
BADDR, bits [47:1]
Translation table base address, A[47:x] or A[51:x], bits[47:1].
- Translation table base addresses of 52 bits, A[51:x], are supported only in an implementation that includes ARMv8.2-LPA and is using the 64KB translation granule.
- A translation table must be aligned to the size of the table, except that when using a translation table base address larger than 48 bits the minimum alignment of a table containing fewer than eight entries is 64 bytes.
In an implementation that includes ARMv8.2-LPA, if the value of TCR_EL2.{I}PS is 0b110, then:
- Register bits[47:z] hold bits[47:z] of the stage 1 translation table base address, where z is determined as follows:
- If x >= 6 then z=x.
- Otherwise, z=6.
- Register bits[5:2] hold bits[51:48] of the stage 1 translation table base address.
- When z>x register bits[(z-1):x] are RES0, and bits[(z-1):x] of the translation table base address are zero.
- When x>6 register bits[(x-1):6] are RES0.
- Register bit[1] is RES0.
- Bits[5:2] of the stage 1 translation table base address are zero.
- In an implementation that includes ARMv8.2-TTCNP bit[0] of the stage 1 translation table base address is zero.
- In an implementation that includes ARMv8.2-LPA a TCR_EL2.IPS value of 0b110, that selects an OA size of 52 bits, is permitted only when using the 64KB translation granule.
- When the value of ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1.PARange indicates that the implementation does not support a 52 bit PA size, if a translation table lookup uses this register with the 64KB translation granule when the value of TCR_EL2.IPS is 0b110 and the value of register bits[5:2] is nonzero, an Address size fault is generated.
If the Effective value of TCR_EL2.IPS is not 0b110 then:
- Register bits[47:x] hold bits[47:x] of the stage 1 translation table base address.
- Register bits[(x-1):1] are RES0.
- If the implementation supports 52-bit PAs and IPAs, then bits[51:48] of the translation table base addresses used in this stage of translation are 0b0000.
This definition applies:
- To an implementation that includes ARMv8.2-LPA and is using a translation granule smaller than 64KB.
- To any implementation that does not include ARMv8.2-LPA.
If any TTBR1_EL2[47:0] bit that is defined as RES0 has the value 1 when a translation table walk is performed using TTBR1_EL2, then the translation table base address might be misaligned, with effects that are CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE, and must be one of the following:
- Bits[x-1:0] of the translation table base address are treated as if all the bits are zero. The value read back from the corresponding register bits is either the value written to the register or zero.
- The result of the calculation of an address for a translation table walk using this register can be corrupted in those bits that are nonzero.
The AArch64 Virtual Memory System Architecture chapter describes how x is calculated based on the value of TCR_EL2.T1SZ, the stage of translation, and the translation granule size.
This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.
CnP, bit [0]
When ARMv8.2-TTCNP is implemented:
When ARMv8.2-TTCNP is implemented:
Common not Private. This bit indicates whether each entry that is pointed to by TBR1_EL2 is a member of a common set that can be used by every PE in the Inner Shareable domain for which the value of TTBR1_EL2.CnP is 1.
CnP | Meaning |
---|---|
0b0 |
The translation table entries pointed to by TTBR1_EL2 for the current ASID are permitted to differ from corresponding entries for TTBR1_EL2 for other PEs in the Inner Shareable domain. This is not affected by:
|
0b1 |
The translation table entries pointed to by TTBR1_EL2 are the same as the translation table entries for every other PE in the Inner Shareable domain for which the value of TTBR1_EL2.CnP is 1 and all of the following apply:
|
This field is permitted to be cached in a TLB.
- TTBR1_EL2 is accessible only when the value of HCR_EL2.E2H is 1, meaning the current translation regime is the EL2&0 regime.
- If the value of the TTBR1_EL2.CnP bit is 1 on multiple PEs in the same Inner Shareable domain and those TTBR1_EL2s do not point to the same translation table entries when the other conditions specified for the case when the value of CnP is 1 apply, then the results of translations are CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE, see 'CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE behaviors due to caching of control or data values' in the Arm® Architecture Reference Manual, Armv8, for Armv8-A architecture profile.
This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.
Otherwise:
Otherwise:
Reserved, RES0.
Accessing the TTBR1_EL2
When HCR_EL2.E2H is 1, without explicit synchronization, access from EL2 using the mnemonic TTBR1_EL2 or TTBR1_EL1 are not guaranteed to be ordered with respect to accesses using the other mnemonic.
Accesses to this register use the following encodings:
