Identifies the current Process Identifier for EL2.
The value of the whole of this register is called the Context ID and is used by:
The significance of this register is for debug and trace use only.
This register is present only when FEAT_VHE is implemented or FEAT_Debugv8p2 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to CONTEXTIDR_EL2 are UNDEFINED.
If EL2 is not implemented, this register is RES0 from EL3.
This register has no effect if EL2 is not enabled in the current Security state.
CONTEXTIDR_EL2 is a 64-bit register.

Process Identifier. This field must be programmed with a unique value that identifies the current process.
The reset behavior of this field is:
When the Effective value of HCR_EL2.E2H is 1, without explicit synchronization, access from EL2 using the mnemonic CONTEXTIDR_EL2 or CONTEXTIDR_EL1 are not guaranteed to be ordered with respect to accesses using the other mnemonic.
Accesses to this register use the following encodings in the System register encoding space:
