PMSIRR_EL1: Sampling Interval Reload Register

Purpose

Defines the interval between samples.

Configuration

This register is present only when FEAT_SPE is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to PMSIRR_EL1 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

PMSIRR_EL1 is a 64-bit register.

Bits [63:32]

Reserved, RES0.

INTERVAL, bits [31:8]

Bits [31:8] of the PMSICR_EL1 interval counter reload value. Software must set this to a nonzero value. If software sets this to zero, an UNKNOWN sampling interval is used. Software should set this to a value greater than the minimum indicated by PMSIDR_EL1.Interval.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Bits [7:1]

Reserved, RES0.

RND, bit [0]

Controls randomization of the sampling interval.

RNDMeaning
0b0

Disable randomization of sampling interval.

0b1

Add (pseudo-)random jitter to sampling interval.

The random number generator is not architected.

The reset behavior of this field is:
