CNTVCT_EL0: Counter-timer Virtual Count Register

Purpose

Holds the 64-bit virtual count value. The virtual count value is equal to the physical count value minus the virtual offset visible in CNTVOFF_EL2.

Configuration

AArch64 System register CNTVCT_EL0 bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register CNTVCT[63:0].

The value of this register is the same as the value of CNTPCT_EL0 in the following conditions:

All reads to the CNTVCT_EL0 occur in program order relative to reads to CNTVCTSS_EL0 or CNTVCT_EL0.

Attributes

CNTVCT_EL0 is a 64-bit register.
