CNTVCT: Counter-timer Virtual Count register

Purpose

Holds the 64-bit virtual count value. The virtual count value is equal to the physical count value minus the virtual offset visible in CNTVOFF.

Configuration

AArch32 System register CNTVCT bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register CNTVCT_EL0[63:0].

This register is present only when AArch32 is supported. Otherwise, direct accesses to CNTVCT are UNDEFINED.

The value of this register is the same as the value of CNTPCT in the following conditions:

All reads to the CNTVCT occur in program order relative to reads to CNTVCTSS or CNTVCT.

Attributes

CNTVCT is a 64-bit register.
