DFAR: Data Fault Address Register

Purpose

Holds the virtual address of the faulting address that caused a synchronous Data Abort exception.

Configuration

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.

Attributes

DFAR is a 32-bit register.

This register has the following instances:
