HDBSSBR_EL2: Hardware Dirty State Tracking Structure Base Register

Purpose

Control register for HDBSS base address.

Configuration

This register is present only when FEAT_HDBSS is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to HDBSSBR_EL2 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

HDBSSBR_EL2 is a 64-bit register.

Bits [63:56]

Reserved, RES0.

BADDR, bits [55:12]

HDBSS base address, bits [55:12].

Bits of this field above the implemented physical address size, indicated in ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1.PARange, are RES0.

Similarly, based on the value of the SZ field of this register, for encodings of the SZ field greater than 4KB, bits [(SZ+12-1):12] of this field are RES0. HDBSS must be aligned to its size.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Bits [11:4]

Reserved, RES0.

SZ, bits [3:0]

Size of the HDBSS.
