HIFAR: Hyp Instruction Fault Address Register

Purpose

Holds the virtual address of the faulting address that caused a synchronous Prefetch Abort exception that is taken to Hyp mode.

Configuration

AArch32 System register HIFAR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register FAR_EL2[63:32].

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

This register is present only when EL2 is capable of using AArch32. Otherwise, direct accesses to HIFAR are UNDEFINED.

If EL2 is not implemented, this register is RES0 from EL3.

Attributes

HIFAR is a 32-bit register.

Field descriptions

313029282726252423222120191817161514131211109876543210
VA

VA, bits [31:0]

VA of faulting address of synchronous Prefetch Abort exception taken to Hyp mode.

On a Data Abort exception, this register is UNKNOWN.

Any execution in a Non-secure EL1 or Non-secure EL0 mode makes this register UNKNOWN.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Accessing HIFAR

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

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