AMEVCNTR0<n>_EL0: Activity Monitors Event Counter Registers 0, n = 0 - 3

Purpose

Provides access to the architected activity monitor event counters.

Configuration

AArch64 System register AMEVCNTR0<n>_EL0 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register AMEVCNTR0<n>[31:0].

AArch64 System register AMEVCNTR0<n>_EL0 bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to External register AMU.AMEVCNTR0<n>[63:0].

This register is present only when FEAT_AMUv1 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to AMEVCNTR0<n>_EL0 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

AMEVCNTR0<n>_EL0 is a 64-bit register.

ACNT, bits [63:0]

Architected activity monitor event counter n.

Value of architected activity monitor event counter n, where n is the number of this register and is a number from 0 to 3.

If all of the following are true, reads of the AMEVCNTR0<n>_EL0 registers from EL0 or EL1 return (PCount<63:0> - AMEVCNTVOFF0<n>_EL2<63:0>), where PCount is the physical count returned when AMEVCNTR0<n>_EL0 is read from EL2 or EL3:

If the counter is enabled, writes to this register have UNPREDICTABLE results.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Accessing AMEVCNTR0<n>_EL0

If <n> is greater than or equal to the number of architected activity monitor event counters, reads and writes of AMEVCNTR0<n>_EL0 are UNDEFINED.

Note

AMCGCR_EL0.CG0NC identifies the number of architected activity monitor event counters.

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