TRBPTR_EL1, Trace Buffer Write Pointer Register

The TRBPTR_EL1 characteristics are:

Purpose

Defines the current write pointer for the trace buffer.

Configuration

This register is present only when TRBE is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to TRBPTR_EL1 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

TRBPTR_EL1 is a 64-bit register.

Field descriptions

The TRBPTR_EL1 bit assignments are:

PTR, bits [63:0]

Trace Buffer current write pointer address.

Defines the virtual address of the next entry to be written to the trace buffer.

The architecture places restrictions on the values that software can write to the pointer.

Note

As a result of the restrictions an implementation might treat some of PTR[M:0] as RES0, where M is defined by TRBIDR_EL1.Align.

The following resets apply:

  • On a Cold reset, this field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

  • On a Warm reset, the value of this field is unchanged.

Accessing the TRBPTR_EL1

The PE might ignore a direct write to TRBPTR_EL1 if TRBLIMITR_EL1.E == 0b1.

Accesses to this register use the following encodings:
