PMICNTSVR_EL1: Performance Monitors Instruction Count Saved Value Register

Purpose

Captures the PMU Instruction counter, PMICNTR_EL0.

Configuration

AArch64 System register PMICNTSVR_EL1 bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to External register PMU.PMICNTSVR_EL1[63:0].

This register is present only when FEAT_PMUv3_ICNTR is implemented and FEAT_PMUv3_SS is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to PMICNTSVR_EL1 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

PMICNTSVR_EL1 is a 64-bit register.
