BRBTGT<n>_EL1, n = 0 - 31

Branch Record Buffer Target Address Register <n>

The target address of Branch record n + (BRBFCR_EL1.BANK × 32).

Configuration

This register is present only when FEAT_BRBE is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to BRBTGT<n>_EL1 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

BRBTGT<n>_EL1 is a 64-bit register.

ADDRESS
ADDRESS

ADDRESS, bits [63:0]:

Target virtual address of the Branch record.

When an indirect write occurs with a value with ADDRESS bits [63:P] indicating an invalid address, an UNKNOWN value which indicates an invalid address is written to bits [63:P].

An invalid address is:

P is defined as:

The value in bits [P-1:0] is the value written.

When an indirect write occurs with a value with ADDRESS bits [63:P] indicating a valid address, the written value is written to bits [63:0], and a read of the register returns the written value.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Accessing this field has the following behavior:

Access Instructions

BRBTGT<n>_EL1 is RES0 if n + (BRBFCR_EL1.BANK × 32) >= BRBIDR0_EL1.NUMREC.

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

MRS <Xt>, BRBTGT<m>_EL1 ; Where m = 0-31

(op0 = 0b10, op1 = 0b001, CRn = 0b1000, CRm = m[3:0], op2 = m[4]:0b10)
