PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0, Performance Monitors Event Count Registers, n = 0 - 30

The PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0 characteristics are:

Purpose

Holds event counter n, which counts events, where n is 0 to 30.

Configuration

AArch64 System register PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register PMEVCNTR<n>[31:0] .

AArch64 System register PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to External register PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0[31:0] .

This register is present only when FEAT_PMUv3 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0 is a 64-bit register.

Field descriptions

The PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0 bit assignments are:

When FEAT_PMUv3p5 is implemented:
63 62 61 60 59 58 57 56 55 54 53 52 51 50 49 48 47 46 45 44 43 42 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 33 32
Event counter n
Event counter n

Bits [63:0]

Event counter n. Value of event counter n, where n is the number of this register and is a number from 0 to 30.

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

Otherwise:
63 62 61 60 59 58 57 56 55 54 53 52 51 50 49 48 47 46 45 44 43 42 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 33 32
RES0
Event counter n
31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0

Bits [63:32]

Reserved, RES0.

Bits [31:0]

Event counter n. Value of event counter n, where n is the number of this register and is a number from 0 to 30.

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

Accessing the PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0

PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0 can also be accessed by using PMXEVCNTR_EL0 with PMSELR_EL0.SEL set to the value of <n>.

If FEAT_FGT is implemented and <n> is greater than or equal to the number of accessible counters, then the behavior of permitted reads and writes of PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0 is as follows:

If <n> is an unimplemented event counter, the access is UNDEFINED.
Otherwise, the access is trapped to EL2.

If FEAT_FGT is not implemented and <n> is greater than or equal to the number of accessible counters, then reads and writes of PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0 are CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE, and the following behaviors are permitted:

Accesses to the register are UNDEFINED.
Accesses to the register behave as RAZ/WI.
Accesses to the register execute as a NOP.
If EL2 is implemented and enabled in the current Security state, and <n> is less than the number of implemented event counters, accesses from EL1 or permitted accesses from EL0 are trapped to EL2.

Note

In EL0, an access is permitted if it is enabled by PMUSERENR_EL0.{ER,EN}.

If EL2 is implemented and enabled in the current Security state, in EL1 and EL0, MDCR_EL2.HPMN identifies the number of accessible event counters. Otherwise, the number of accessible event counters is the number of implemented event counters. See MDCR_EL2.HPMN for more details.

Accesses to this register use the following encodings:
