HTPIDR

Hyp Software Thread ID Register

Provides a location where software running in Hyp mode can store thread identifying information that is not visible to Non-secure software executing at EL0 or EL1, for hypervisor management purposes.

The PE makes no use of this register.

Configuration

AArch32 System register HTPIDR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register TPIDR_EL2[31:0].

This register is present only when FEAT_AA32EL2 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to HTPIDR are UNDEFINED.

If EL2 is not implemented, this register is RES0 from EL3.

The PE never updates this register.

Attributes

HTPIDR is a 32-bit register.

Access Instructions

Accesses to this register use the following encodings in the System register encoding space:
