CPTR_EL2, Architectural Feature Trap Register (EL2)

The CPTR_EL2 characteristics are:

Purpose

Controls:

  • Trapping to EL2 of access to CPACR, CPACR_EL1, trace functionality, and to SVE, Advanced SIMD and floating-point functionality.
  • EL2 access to trace functionality, and to SVE, Advanced SIMD and floating-point functionality.

Configuration

AArch64 System register CPTR_EL2 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register HCPTR[31:0] .

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

CPTR_EL2 is a 64-bit register.

Field descriptions

The CPTR_EL2 bit assignments are:

When FEAT_VHE is implemented and HCR_EL2.E2H == 1:
6362616059585756555453525150494847464544434241403938373635343332
RES0
TCPACTAMRES0TTARES0FPENRES0ZENRES0

Bits [63:32]

Reserved, RES0.

TCPAC, bit [31]

When HCR_EL2.TGE is 0, traps EL1 accesses to CPACR_EL1 reported using EC syndrome value 0x18, and accesses to CPACR reported using EC syndrome value 0x03, to EL2 when EL2 is enabled in the current Security state.

TCPACMeaning
0b0

This control does not cause any instructions to be trapped.

0b1

EL1 accesses to CPACR_EL1 and CPACR are trapped to EL2 when EL2 is enabled in the current Security state.

When HCR_EL2.TGE is 1, this control does not cause any instructions to be trapped.

Note

CPACR_EL1 and CPACR are not accessible at EL0.

This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

TAM, bit [30]

When FEAT_AMUv1 is implemented:

Trap Activity Monitor access. Traps EL1 and EL0 accesses to all Activity Monitor registers to EL2, as follows:

TAMMeaning
0b0

Accesses from EL1 and EL0 to Activity Monitor registers are not trapped.

0b1

Accesses from EL1 and EL0 to Activity Monitor registers are trapped to EL2, when EL2 is enabled in the current Security state.

This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

Bit [29]

Reserved, RES0.

TTA, bit [28]

Traps System register accesses to all implemented trace registers to EL2 when EL2 is enabled in the current Security state, from both Execution states, as follows:

  • In AArch64 state, accesses to trace registers with op0=2, op1=1 are trapped to EL2, reported using EC syndrome value 0x18.

  • In AArch32 state, MRC or MCR accesses to trace registers with cpnum=14, opc1=1, are trapped to EL2, reported using EC syndrome value 0x05.

  • In AArch32 state, MRRC or MCRR accesses to trace registers with cpnum=14, opc1=1, are trapped to EL2, reported using EC syndrome value 0x0C.

TTAMeaning
0b0

This control does not cause any instructions to be trapped.

0b1

Any attempt at EL0, EL1 or EL2, to execute a System register access to an implemented trace register is trapped to EL2 when EL2 is enabled in the current Security state, unless HCR_EL2.TGE is 0 and it is trapped by CPACR.NSTRCDIS or CPACR_EL1.TTA.

When HCR_EL2.TGE is 1, any attempt at EL0 or EL2 to execute a System register access to an implemented trace register is trapped to EL2 when EL2 is enabled in the current Security state.

Note
  • The ETMv4 architecture does not permit EL0 to access the trace registers. If the PE trace unit implements FEAT_ETMv4, EL0 accesses to the trace registers are UNDEFINED, and any resulting exception is higher priority than an exception that would be generated because the value of CPTR_EL2.TTA is 1.
  • EL2 does not provide traps on trace register accesses through the optional memory-mapped interface.

System register accesses to the trace registers can have side-effects. When a System register access is trapped, any side-effects that are normally associated with the access do not occur before the exception is taken.

If System register access to the trace functionality is not supported, this bit is RES0.

This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

Bits [27:22]

Reserved, RES0.

FPEN, bits [21:20]

Traps EL0, EL2 and, when HCR_EL2.TGE is 0, EL1 accesses to the SVE, Advanced SIMD and floating-point registers to EL2 when EL2 is enabled in the current Security state, from both Execution states.

FPENMeaning
0b00

This control causes any instructions at EL0, EL1, or EL2 that use the registers associated with SVE, Advanced SIMD and floating-point execution to be trapped, subject to the exception prioritization rules, unless they are trapped by CPTR_EL2.ZEN.

0b01

When HCR_EL2.TGE is 0, this control does not cause any instructions to be trapped.

When HCR_EL2.TGE is 1, this control causes instructions at EL0 that use the registers associated with SVE, Advanced SIMD and floating-point execution to be trapped, unless they are trapped by CPTR_EL2.ZEN, but does not cause any instruction at EL2 to be trapped.

0b10

This control causes any instructions at EL0, EL1, or EL2 that use the registers associated with SVE, Advanced SIMD and floating-point execution to be trapped, subject to the exception prioritization rules, unless they are trapped by CPTR_EL2.ZEN.

0b11

This control does not cause any instructions to be trapped.

Writes to MVFR0, MVFR1, and MVFR2 from EL1 or higher are CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE and whether these accesses can be trapped by this control depends on implemented CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE behavior.

Note
  • Attempts to write to the FPSID count as use of the registers for accesses from EL1 or higher.
  • Accesses from EL0 to FPSID, MVFR0, MVFR1, MVFR2, and FPEXC are UNDEFINED, and any resulting exception is higher priority than an exception that would be generated because the value of CPTR_EL2.FPEN is not 0b11.

This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

Bits [19:18]

Reserved, RES0.

ZEN, bits [17:16]

When FEAT_SVE is implemented:

ZENMeaning
0b00

This control causes execution at EL2, EL1, and EL0 of these instructions to be trapped, subject to the exception prioritization rules.

0b01

When HCR_EL2.TGE is 0, this control does not cause any instruction to be trapped.

When HCR_EL2.TGE is 1, this control causes these instructions executed at EL0 to be trapped, but does not cause any instruction at EL2 to be trapped.

0b10

This control causes execution at EL2, EL1, and EL0 of these instructions to be trapped, subject to the exception prioritization rules.

0b11

This control does not cause any instruction to be trapped.

This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

TAM, bit [30]

When FEAT_AMUv1 is implemented:

Trap Activity Monitor access. Traps EL1 and EL0 accesses to all Activity Monitor registers to EL2, as follows:

TAMMeaning
0b0

Accesses from EL1 and EL0 to Activity Monitor registers are not trapped.

0b1

Accesses from EL1 and EL0 to Activity Monitor registers are trapped to EL2, when EL2 is enabled in the current Security state.

This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

Bits [29:21]

Reserved, RES0.

TTA, bit [20]

Traps System register accesses to all implemented trace registers to EL2 when EL2 is enabled in the current Security state, from both Execution states as follows:

  • In AArch64 state, accesses to trace registers with op0=2, op1=1 are trapped to EL2, reported using EC syndrome value 0x18.

  • In AArch32 state, MRC or MCR accesses to trace registers with cpnum=14, opc1=1 are trapped to EL2, reported using EC syndrome value 0x05.

  • In AArch32 state, MRRC or MCRR accesses to trace registers with cpnum=14, opc1=1 are trapped to EL2, reported using EC syndrome value 0x0C.

TTAMeaning
0b0

This control does not cause any instructions to be trapped.

0b1

Any attempt at EL0, EL1, or EL2, to execute a System register access to an implemented trace register is trapped to EL2 when EL2 is enabled in the current Security state, unless it is trapped by CPACR.TRCDIS or CPACR_EL1.TTA.

Note
  • The ETMv4 architecture does not permit EL0 to access the trace registers. If the PE trace unit implements FEAT_ETMv4, EL0 accesses to the trace registers are UNDEFINED, and any resulting exception is higher priority than an exception that would be generated because the value of CPTR_EL2.TTA is 1.
  • EL2 does not provide traps on trace register accesses through the optional memory-mapped interface.

System register accesses to the trace registers can have side-effects. When a System register access is trapped, any side-effects that are normally associated with the access do not occur before the exception is taken.

If System register access to the trace functionality is not supported, this bit is RES0.

This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

Bits [19:14]

Reserved, RES0.

Bits [13:12]

Reserved, RES1.

Bit [11]

Reserved, RES0.

TFP, bit [10]

Traps accesses to SVE, Advanced SIMD and floating-point functionality to EL2 when EL2 is enabled in the current Security state, from both Execution states, as follows:

  • In AArch64 state, accesses to the following registers are trapped to EL2, reported using EC syndrome value 0x07:
    • FPCR, FPSR, FPEXC32_EL2, any of the SIMD and floating-point registers V0-V31, including their views as D0-D31 registers or S0-31 registers.
  • In AArch32 state, accesses to the following registers are trapped to EL2, reported using EC syndrome value 0x07:
    • MVFR0, MVFR1, MVFR2, FPSCR, FPEXC, and any of the SIMD and floating-point registers Q0-15, including their views as D0-D31 registers or S0-31 registers. For the purposes of this trap, the architecture defines a VMSR access to FPSID from EL1 or higher as an access to a SIMD and floating point register. Otherwise, permitted VMSR accesses to FPSID are ignored.
TFPMeaning
0b0

This control does not cause any instructions to be trapped.

0b1

Any attempt at EL0, EL1 or EL2, to execute an instruction that uses the registers associated with SVE, Advanced SIMD and floating-point execution is trapped to EL2 when EL2 is enabled in the current Security state, subject to the exception prioritization rules, unless it is trapped by CPTR_EL2.TZ.

Note

FPEXC32_EL2 is not accessible from EL0 using AArch64.

FPSID, MVFR0, MVFR1, and FPEXC are not accessible from EL0 using AArch32.
