ACTLR2: Auxiliary Control Register 2

Purpose

Provides additional space to the ACTLR register to hold IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED trap functionality for execution at EL1 and EL0.

Configuration

This register is banked between ACTLR2 and ACTLR2_S and ACTLR2_NS.

AArch32 System register ACTLR2 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register ACTLR_EL1[63:32].

This register is present only when EL1 is capable of using AArch32. Otherwise, direct accesses to ACTLR2 are UNDEFINED.

In Armv8.0 and Armv8.1, it is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether this register is implemented, or whether it causes UNDEFINED exceptions when accessed. The implementation of this register can be detected by examining ID_MMFR4.AC2.

From Armv8.2 this register must be implemented.

Attributes

ACTLR2 is a 32-bit register.

This register has the following instances:
