DFAR: Data Fault Address Register

Purpose

Holds the virtual address of the faulting address that caused a synchronous Data Abort exception.

Configuration

This register is banked between DFAR and DFAR_S and DFAR_NS.

AArch32 System register DFAR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register FAR_EL1[31:0].

AArch32 System register DFAR bits [31:0] (DFAR_S) are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register HDFAR[31:0] when EL2 is implemented, EL3 is implemented and the implementation only supports execution in AArch32 state.

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

Attributes

DFAR is a 32-bit register.

This register has the following instances:
