CNTPCTSS: Counter-timer Self-Synchronized Physical Count register

Purpose

Holds the 64-bit physical count value.

Configuration

AArch32 System register CNTPCTSS bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register CNTPCTSS_EL0[63:0].

This register is present only when AArch32 is supported and FEAT_ECV is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to CNTPCTSS are UNDEFINED.

All reads to the CNTPCTSS occur in program order relative to reads to CNTPCT or CNTPCTSS.

This register is a self-synchronised view of the CNTPCT counter, and cannot be read speculatively.

Attributes

CNTPCTSS is a 64-bit register.
