RCWSMASK_EL1: Software Read Check Write Instruction Mask (EL1)

Purpose

Contains the software mask used by RCWS instructions.

Configuration

This register is present only when FEAT_THE is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to RCWSMASK_EL1 are UNDEFINED.

RCWSMASK_EL1 is a 128-bit register that can also be accessed as a 64-bit value. If it is accessed as a 64-bit register, accesses read and write bits [63:0] and do not modify bits [127:64].

Attributes

RCWSMASK_EL1 is a:

RCWSMASK

RCWSMASK, bits [127:0]

Software Mask used to decide which bit-fields are writable to the 128-bit Descriptor by RCWS instructions.

If RCWSMASK_EL1 is indirectly read by 128-bit variants of RCWS instructions:

If RCWSMASK_EL1 is indirectly read by 64-bit variants of RCWS instructions:

RCWSMASK_EL1 register bits {126:125, 120:119, 114, 107:101, 90:64, 49:18, 0} are RES0.

If FEAT_S1POE is not implemented, RCWSMASK_EL1 register bits {124:121} are RES0.

If FEAT_MEC is not implemented, RCWSMASK_EL1[108] is RES0.

The reset behavior of this field is:

RCWSMASK

RCWSMASK, bits [63:0]

Software Mask used to decide which bit-fields are writable to the 64-bit Descriptor by RCWS Instruction.

The Effective value of RCWSMASK[n] is the same as RCWSMASK_EL1[n], except as follows

RCWSMASK_EL1 register bits {49:18, 0} are RES0.
