Auxiliary Control Register
Provides IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED configuration and control options for execution at EL1 and EL0.
This register is banked between ACTLR and ACTLR_S and ACTLR_NS.
AArch32 System register ACTLR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register ACTLR_EL1[31:0].
This register is present only when FEAT_AA32EL1 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to ACTLR are UNDEFINED.
Some bits might define global configuration settings, and be common to the Secure and Non-secure instances of the register.
ACTLR is a 32-bit register.
This register has the following instances:
| 31 | 30 | 29 | 28 | 27 | 26 | 25 | 24 | 23 | 22 | 21 | 20 | 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
