TTBR1_EL2: Translation Table Base Register 1 (EL2)

Purpose

When the Effective value of HCR_EL2.E2H is 1, holds the base address of the translation table for the initial lookup for stage 1 of the translation of an address from the higher VA range in the EL2&0 translation regime, and other information for this translation regime.

Note

When the Effective value of HCR_EL2.E2H is not 1, the contents of this register are ignored by the PE, except for a direct read or write of the register.

Configuration

This register is present only when FEAT_VHE is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to TTBR1_EL2 are UNDEFINED.

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

This register has no effect if EL2 is not enabled in the current Security state.

TTBR1_EL2 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

TTBR1_EL2 is a:

Bits [127:88]

Reserved, RES0.

BADDR, bits [87:80, 47:5]

Translation table base address:

Address bit x is the minimum address bit required to align the translation table to the size of the table. x is calculated based on LOG2(StartTableSize), as described in VMSAv9-128. The smallest permitted value of x is 5.

The BADDR field is split as follows:

The reset behavior of this field is:

Bits [79:64]

Reserved, RES0.

ASID, bits [63:48]

An ASID for the translation table base address. The TCR_EL2.A1 field selects either TTBR0_EL2.ASID or TTBR1_EL2.ASID.

If the implementation has only 8 bits of ASID, then the upper 8 bits of this field are RES0.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Bits [4:3]

Reserved, RES0.

SKL, bits [2:1]

Skip Level associated with translation table walks using TTBR1_EL2.

This determines the number of levels to be skipped from the regular start level of the stage 1 EL2&0 translation table walks using TTBR1_EL2.

SKLMeaning
0b00

Skip 0 level from the regular start level.

0b01

Skip 1 level from the regular start level.

0b10

Skip 2 levels from the regular start level.

0b11

Skip 3 levels from the regular start level.

The reset behavior of this field is:

CnP, bit [0]

When FEAT_TTCNP is implemented:

Common not Private. This bit indicates whether each entry that is pointed to by TBR1_EL2 is a member of a common set that can be used by every PE in the Inner Shareable domain for which the value of TTBR1_EL2.CnP is 1.

CnPMeaning
0b0

The translation table entries pointed to by TTBR1_EL2 for the current ASID are permitted to differ from corresponding entries for TTBR1_EL2 for other PEs in the Inner Shareable domain. This is not affected by:

  • The value of TTBR1_EL2.CnP on those other PEs.

  • The value of the current ASID.

0b1

The translation table entries pointed to by TTBR1_EL2 are the same as the translation table entries for every other PE in the Inner Shareable domain for which the value of TTBR1_EL2.CnP is 1 and all of the following apply:

  • The translation table entries are pointed to by TTBR1_EL2.

  • The ASID is the same as the current ASID.

This bit is permitted to be cached in a TLB.

ASIDBADDR[47:1]
BADDR[47:1]CnP

ASID, bits [63:48]

An ASID for the translation table base address. The TCR_EL2.A1 field selects either TTBR0_EL2.ASID or TTBR1_EL2.ASID.

If the implementation has only 8 bits of ASID, then the upper 8 bits of this field are RES0.

The reset behavior of this field is:

BADDR[47:1], bits [47:1]

Translation table base address:

Address bit x is the minimum address bit required to align the translation table to the size of the table. The AArch64 Virtual Memory System Architecture chapter describes how x is calculated based on the value of TCR_EL2.T1SZ, the translation stage, and the translation granule size.

Note

If an OA size of more than 48 bits is in use, and the translation table has fewer than eight entries, the table must be aligned to 64 bytes. Otherwise the translation table must be aligned to the size of the table.

If the value of TCR_EL2.{I}PS is not 0b110, then:

If FEAT_LPA is implemented and the value of TCR_EL2.{I}PS is 0b110, then:

Note

The OA size specified by TCR_EL2.{I}PS is determined as follows:

TCR_EL2.{I}PS==0b110 is permitted when:

When the value of ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1.PARange indicates that the implementation does not support a 52 bit PA size, if a translation table lookup uses this register when the Effective value of TCR_EL2.{I}PS is 0b110 and the value of register bits[5:2] is nonzero, an Address size fault is generated.

When the value of ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1.PARange indicates that the implementation supports a 56 bit PA size, bits A[55:52] of the stage 1 translation table base address are zero.

If any register bit[47:1] that is defined as RES0 has the value 1 when a translation table walk is done using TTBR1_EL2, then the translation table base address might be misaligned, with effects that are CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE, and must be one of the following:

The reset behavior of this field is:

CnP, bit [0]

When FEAT_TTCNP is implemented:

Common not Private. This bit indicates whether each entry that is pointed to by TBR1_EL2 is a member of a common set that can be used by every PE in the Inner Shareable domain for which the value of TTBR1_EL2.CnP is 1.

CnPMeaning
0b0

The translation table entries pointed to by TTBR1_EL2 for the current ASID are permitted to differ from corresponding entries for TTBR1_EL2 for other PEs in the Inner Shareable domain. This is not affected by:

  • The value of TTBR1_EL2.CnP on those other PEs.

  • The value of the current ASID.

0b1

The translation table entries pointed to by TTBR1_EL2 are the same as the translation table entries for every other PE in the Inner Shareable domain for which the value of TTBR1_EL2.CnP is 1 and all of the following apply:

Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

Accessing TTBR1_EL2

When the Effective value of HCR_EL2.E2H is 1, without explicit synchronization, access from EL2 using the mnemonic TTBR1_EL2 or TTBR1_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:
