DSPSR2: Debug Saved Process State Register 2

Purpose

Holds the saved process state for Debug state. On entering Debug state, PSTATE information is written to this register. On exiting Debug state, values are copied from this register to PSTATE.

Configuration

AArch32 System register DSPSR2 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register DSPSR_EL0[63:32].

This register is present only when FEAT_Debugv8p9 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to DSPSR2 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

DSPSR2 is a 32-bit register.

RES0PPENDRES0

Bits [31:2]

Reserved, RES0.

PPEND, bit [1]

When FEAT_SEBEP is implemented:

PMU exception pending. Set to the value of PSTATE.PPEND on entering Debug state, and copied to PSTATE.PPEND on exiting Debug state.

The reset behavior of this field is:



Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

Bit [0]

Reserved, RES0.

Accessing DSPSR2

Accesses to this register use the following encodings in the System register encoding space:

MRC{<c>}{<q>} <coproc>, {#}<opc1>, <Rt>, <CRn>, <CRm>{, {#}<opc2>}

if !Halted() then UNDEFINED; else R[t] = DSPSR2;
