SPMCR_EL0: System Performance Monitor Control Register

Purpose

Main control register for System PMU <s>.

Configuration

This register is present only when FEAT_SPMU is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to SPMCR_EL0 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

SPMCR_EL0 is a 64-bit register.

Bits [63:12]

Reserved, RES0.

TRO, bit [11]

When SPMCFGR_EL1.TRO == 1:

Trace enable. For more information on this field, see 'CoreSight PMU Architecture'.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Accessing this field has the following behavior:



Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

HDBG, bit [10]

When SPMCFGR_EL1.HDBG == 1:

Halt-on-debug. For more information on this field, see 'CoreSight PMU Architecture'.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Accessing this field has the following behavior:



Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

FZO, bit [9]

When SPMCFGR_EL1.FZO == 1:

Freeze-on-overflow. For more information on this field, see 'CoreSight PMU Architecture'.

Note

If implemented by a System PMU, then freeze-on-overflow affects only the counters of System PMU <s>, not other System PMUs nor the PE PMU.

The reset behavior of this field is:



Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

NA, bit [8]

When SPMCFGR_EL1.NA == 1:

Not accessible. For more information on this field, see 'CoreSight PMU Architecture'.

Access to this field is RO.



Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

Bits [7:5]

Reserved, RES0.

EX, bit [4]

When SPMCFGR_EL1.EX == 1:

Export enable. For more information on this field, see 'CoreSight PMU Architecture'.

The reset behavior of this field is:



Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

Bits [3:2]

Reserved, RES0.

P, bit [1]

Event counter reset.

PMeaning
0b0

Write is ignored.

0b1

Reset all event counters in System PMU <s> to zero.

Note

Resetting the event counters does not affect any overflow flags.

Access to this field is WO/RAZ.

E, bit [0]

Count enable. This field controls System PMU <s>.

EMeaning
0b0

Monitor is disabled.

0b1

Monitor is enabled.

Performance monitor overflow IRQs are only signaled by System PMU <s> when this field is 1.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Accessing SPMCR_EL0

To access SPMCR_EL0 for System PMU <s>, set SPMSELR_EL0.SYSPMUSEL to s.

SPMCR_EL0 reads-as-zero and ignores writes if System PMU <s> is not implemented.

Accesses to this register use the following encodings in the System register encoding space:
