CNTVCTSS: Counter-timer Self-Synchronized Virtual Count register

Purpose

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

Configuration

AArch32 System register CNTVCTSS bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register CNTVCTSS_EL0[63:0].

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

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

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

Attributes

CNTVCTSS is a 64-bit register.
