PMCNTENSET_EL0: Performance Monitors Count Enable Set Register

Purpose

Allows software to enable the following counters:

Reading from this register shows which counters are enabled.

Configuration

AArch64 System register PMCNTENSET_EL0 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register PMCNTENSET[31:0].

AArch64 System register PMCNTENSET_EL0 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to External register PMU.PMCNTENSET_EL0[31:0].

AArch64 System register PMCNTENSET_EL0 bits [63:32] are architecturally mapped to External register PMU.PMCNTENSET_EL0[63:32] when FEAT_PMUv3p9 is implemented or FEAT_PMUv3_EXT64 is implemented.

This register is present only when FEAT_PMUv3 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to PMCNTENSET_EL0 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

PMCNTENSET_EL0 is a 64-bit register.

Bits [63:33]

Reserved, RES0.

F<m>, bit [m+32], for m = 0

When FEAT_PMUv3_ICNTR is implemented:

Fixed-function counter <m> enable. On writes, allows software to enable fixed-function counter <m>. On reads, returns the fixed-function counter <m> enable status.

F<m>Meaning
0b0

Fixed-function counter <m> disabled.

0b1

Fixed-function counter <m> enabled.

PMCNTENSET_EL0.F0 holds the enable status for PMICNTR_EL0.

Accessing this field has the following behavior:

The reset behavior of this field is:



Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

C, bit [31]

PMCCNTR_EL0 enable. On writes, allows software to enable PMCCNTR_EL0. On reads, returns the PMCCNTR_EL0 enable status.

CMeaning
0b0

PMCCNTR_EL0 disabled.

0b1

PMCCNTR_EL0 enabled.

Accessing this field has the following behavior:

The reset behavior of this field is:

P<m>, bit [m], for m = 30 to 0

PMEVCNTR<m>_EL0 enable. On writes, allows software to enable PMEVCNTR<m>_EL0. On reads, returns the PMEVCNTR<m>_EL0 enable status.

P<m>Meaning
0b0

PMEVCNTR<m>_EL0 disabled.

0b1

PMEVCNTR<m>_EL0 enabled.

Accessing this field has the following behavior:

The reset behavior of this field is:
