PMOVS: Performance Monitors Overflow Flag Status register

Purpose

The unsigned overflow flags for the Cycle Count Register, PMU.PMCCNTR_EL0, and each of the implemented event counters PMEVCNTR<n>.

Configuration

External register PMOVS bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register PMOVSSET_EL0[63:0].

External register PMOVS bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register PMOVSCLR_EL0[63:0].

External register PMOVS bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register PMOVSSET[31:0].

External register PMOVS bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register PMOVSR[31:0].

This register is present only when FEAT_PMUv3_EXT64 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to PMOVS are RES0.

Attributes

PMOVS is a 64-bit register.

This register is part of the PMU block.

Bits [63:33]

Reserved, RES0.

F0, bit [32]

When FEAT_PMUv3_ICNTR is implemented:

PMU.PMICNTR_EL0 unsigned overflow flag.

F0Meaning
0b0

PMU.PMICNTR_EL0 has not overflowed.

0b1

PMU.PMICNTR_EL0 has overflowed.

The reset behavior of this field is:



Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

C, bit [31]

Cycle counter unsigned overflow flag.

CMeaning
0b0

The cycle counter has not overflowed since this bit was last cleared.

0b1

The cycle counter has overflowed since this bit was last cleared.

PMU.PMCR_EL0.LC controls whether an overflow is detected from unsigned overflow of PMU.PMCCNTR_EL0[31:0] or unsigned overflow of PMU.PMCCNTR_EL0[63:0].

The reset behavior of this field is:

P<n>, bit [n], for n = 30 to 0

Event counter unsigned overflow bit for PMU.PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0.

If PMU.PMCFGR.N is less than 31, bits [30:PMU.PMCFGR.N] are RAZ/WI.

P<n>Meaning
0b0

PMU.PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0 has not overflowed since this bit was last cleared.

0b1

PMU.PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0 has overflowed since this bit was last cleared.

If FEAT_PMUv3p5 is implemented, MDCR_EL2.HLP and PMU.PMCR_EL0.LP control whether an overflow is detected from unsigned overflow of PMU.PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0[31:0] or unsigned overflow of PMU.PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0[63:0].

The reset behavior of this field is:
