ID_DFR1_EL1: Debug Feature Register 1

Purpose

Provides top level information about the debug system in AArch32.

For general information about the interpretation of the ID registers see 'Principles of the ID scheme for fields in ID registers'.

Configuration

AArch64 System register ID_DFR1_EL1 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register ID_DFR1[31:0].

Note

Prior to the introduction of the features described by this register, this register was unnamed and reserved, RES0 from EL1, EL2, and EL3.

Attributes

ID_DFR1_EL1 is a 64-bit register.

Field descriptions

When AArch32 is supported:

6362616059585756555453525150494847464544434241403938373635343332

RES0
RES0HPMN0MTPMU

Bits [63:8]

Reserved, RES0.

HPMN0, bits [7:4]

Zero PMU event counters for a Guest operating system.

The value of this field is an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED choice of:

HPMN0Meaning
0b0000

Setting HDCR.HPMN to zero has CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE behavior.

0b0001

Setting HDCR.HPMN to zero has defined behavior.

All other values are reserved.

If FEAT_PMUv3 is not implemented, FEAT_FGT is not implemented, or EL2 is not implemented, the only permitted value is 0b0000.

FEAT_HPMN0 implements the functionality identified by the value 0b0001.

From Armv8.8, in an implementation that includes FEAT_PMUv3, FEAT_FGT, and EL2, the value 0b0000 is not permitted.

Access to this field is RO.

MTPMU, bits [3:0]

Multi-threaded PMU extension.

The value of this field is an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED choice of:

MTPMUMeaning
0b0000

FEAT_MTPMU not implemented. If FEAT_PMUv3 is implemented, it is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether PMEVTYPER<n>.MT are read/write or RES0.

0b0001

FEAT_MTPMU and FEAT_PMUv3 implemented. PMEVTYPER<n>.MT are read/write. When FEAT_MTPMU is disabled, the Effective values of PMEVTYPER<n>.MT are 0.

0b1111

FEAT_MTPMU not implemented. If FEAT_PMUv3 is implemented, PMEVTYPER<n>.MT are RES0.

All other values are reserved.

FEAT_MTPMU implements the functionality identified by the value 0b0001.

From Armv8.6, in an implementation that includes FEAT_PMUv3, the value 0b0000 is not permitted.

In an implementation that does not include FEAT_PMUv3, the value 0b0001 is not permitted.

Access to this field is RO.

Otherwise:

Bits [63:0]

Reserved, UNKNOWN.
