TFSR_EL2: Tag Fault Status Register (EL2)

Purpose

Holds accumulated Tag Check Faults occurring in EL2 that are not taken precisely.

Configuration

This register is present only when FEAT_MTE2 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to TFSR_EL2 are UNDEFINED.

If EL2 is not implemented, this register is RES0 from EL3.

Attributes

TFSR_EL2 is a 64-bit register.

Bits [63:2]

Reserved, RES0.

TF1, bit [1]

Tag Check Fault. Asynchronously set to 1 when a Tag Check Fault using a virtual address with bit[55] == 0b1 occurs.

When the Effective value of HCR_EL2.E2H is not 1, this field is RES0.

The reset behavior of this field is:

TF0, bit [0]

Tag Check Fault. Asynchronously set to 1 when a Tag Check Fault using a virtual address with bit[55] == 0b0 occurs.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Accessing TFSR_EL2

When the Effective value of HCR_EL2.E2H is 1, without explicit synchronization, access from EL2 using the mnemonic TFSR_EL2 or TFSR_EL1 are not guaranteed to be ordered with respect to accesses using the other mnemonic.

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