RGSR_EL1: Random Allocation Tag Seed Register.

Purpose

Random Allocation Tag Seed Register.

Configuration

This register is present only when FEAT_MTE2 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to RGSR_EL1 are UNDEFINED.

When GCR_EL1.RRND==0b1, updates to RGSR_EL1 are implementation-specific.

Direct and indirect reads and writes to the register appear to occur in program order relative to other instructions, without the need for any explicit synchronization.

Attributes

RGSR_EL1 is a 64-bit register.

Note

Software is recommended to avoid writing SEED[15:0] with a value of zero, unless this has been generated by the PE in response to an earlier value with SEED being nonzero.
