Debug OS Lock Status Register
Provides status information for the OS Lock.
AArch32 System register DBGOSLSR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register OSLSR_EL1[31:0].
This register is present only when FEAT_AA32EL1 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to DBGOSLSR are UNDEFINED.
The OS Lock status is also visible in the external debug interface through EDPRSR.
DBGOSLSR is a 32-bit register.

| RES0 | OSLM[1] | nTT | OSLK | OSLM[0] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Reserved, RES0.
OS Lock model implemented. Identifies the form of OS save and restore mechanism implemented.
The value of this field is an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED choice of:
| OSLM | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0b00 |
OS Lock not implemented. |
| 0b10 |
OS Lock implemented. |
All other values are reserved. In an Armv8 implementation the value 0b00 is not permitted.
The OSLM field is split as follows:
Access to this field is RO.
Not 32-bit access. This bit is always RAZ. It indicates that a 32-bit access is needed to write the key to the OS Lock Access Register.
This field has an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED value.
Access to this field is RO.
OS Lock Status.
| OSLK | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0b0 |
OS Lock unlocked. |
| 0b1 |
OS Lock locked. |
The OS Lock is locked and unlocked by writing to the OS Lock Access Register.
The reset behavior of this field is:
Accesses to this register use the following encodings in the System register encoding space:
MRC{<c>}{<q>} <coproc>, {#}<opc1>, <Rt>, <CRn>, <CRm>{, {#}<opc2>}
(coproc = 0b1110, opc1 = 0b000, CRn = 0b0001, CRm = 0b0001, opc2 = 0b100)
