Data Fault Address Register
Holds the virtual address of the faulting address that caused a synchronous Data Abort exception.
This register is banked between DFAR and DFAR_S and DFAR_NS.
AArch32 System register DFAR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register FAR_EL1[31:0].
AArch32 System register DFAR bits [31:0] (DFAR_S) are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register HDFAR[31:0] when EL2 is implemented, EL3 is implemented, and FEAT_AA64 is not implemented.
This register is present only when FEAT_AA32EL1 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to DFAR are UNDEFINED.
DFAR 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 |
| VA | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
VA of faulting address of synchronous Data Abort exception.
The reset behavior of this field is:
Accesses to this register use the following encodings in the System register encoding space:
