Holds status information about the captured counters and provides a mechanism for software to initiate a sample.
AArch64 System register PMSSCR_EL1 bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to External register PMU.PMSSCR_EL1[63:0].
This register is present only when FEAT_PMUv3_SS is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to PMSSCR_EL1 are UNDEFINED.
PMSSCR_EL1 is a 64-bit register.

Reserved, RES0.
No Capture. Indicates whether the PMU counters have been captured.
| NC | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0b0 |
PMU counters captured. |
| 0b1 |
PMU counters not captured. |
The reset behavior of this field is:
Reserved, RES0.
Snapshot Capture and Status.
| SS | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0b0 |
On a read, the Capture event has completed. |
| 0b1 | On a read, the Capture event has not completed. On a write, request a Capture event. |
A write of 0 to this field is ignored.
It is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE whether a Capture event has completed if this field is modified when the Capture event is ongoing.
The reset behavior of this field is:
