TRCBBCTLR, Branch Broadcast Control Register
The TRCBBCTLR characteristics are:
Purpose
Controls the regions in the memory map where branch broadcasting is active.
Configuration
AArch64 System register TRCBBCTLR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to External register TRCBBCTLR[31:0] .
This register is present only when FEAT_ETE is implemented, TRCIDR0.TRCBB == 1 and TRCIDR4.NUMACPAIRS > 0b0000. Otherwise, direct accesses to TRCBBCTLR are UNDEFINED.
Attributes
TRCBBCTLR is a 64-bit register.
Field descriptions
The TRCBBCTLR bit assignments are:
| 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 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| RES0 | MODE | RANGE<m>, bit [m] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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 [63:9]
Reserved, RES0.
MODE, bit [8]
Mode.
| MODE | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0b0 |
Exclude Mode. Branch broadcasting is not active for instructions in the address ranges defined by RANGE. If RANGE == 0x00 then branch broadcasting is active for all instructions. |
| 0b1 |
Include Mode. Branch broadcasting is active for instructions in the address ranges defined by RANGE. If RANGE == 0x00 then the behavior of the trace unit is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE. That is, the trace unit might or might not consider any instructions to be in a branch broadcasting region. |
On a Trace unit reset, this field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.
RANGE<m>, bit [m], for m = 0 to 7
Address range field.
Selects which Address Range Comparators are in use with branch broadcasting.
| RANGE<m> | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0b0 |
The address range that Address Range Comparator m defines, is not selected. |
| 0b1 |
The address range that Address Range Comparator m defines, is selected. |
This bit is RES0 if m >= TRCIDR4.NUMACPAIRS.
On a Trace unit reset, this field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.
Accessing the TRCBBCTLR
Must be programmed if TRCCONFIGR.BB == 0b1.
Writes are CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE if the trace unit is not in the Idle state.
Accesses to this register use the following encodings:
