PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0, n = 0 - 30

Access Instructions

PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0 can also be accessed by using PMXEVCNTR_EL0 with PMSELR_EL0.SEL set to the value of <n>.

If FEAT_FGT is implemented and <n> is greater than or equal to the number of accessible event counters, then the behavior of permitted reads and writes of PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0 is as follows:

• If <n> is greater than or equal to the Effective value of PMCCR.EPMN, the access is UNDEFINED.
• Otherwise, the access is trapped to EL2.

If FEAT_FGT is not implemented and <n> is greater than or equal to the number of accessible event counters, then reads and writes of PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0 are CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE, and the following behaviors are permitted:

• Accesses to the register are UNDEFINED.
• Accesses to the register behave as RAZ/WI.
• Accesses to the register execute as a NOP.
• Accesses to the register behave as if <n> is an UNKNOWN value less-than-or-equal-to the index of the highest accessible event counter.
• If EL2 is implemented and enabled in the current Security state, and <n> is less than the number of implemented event counters, accesses from EL1 or permitted accesses from EL0 are trapped to EL2.

Permitted reads and writes of PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0 are RAZ/WI if all of the following are true:

• FEAT_PMUv3p9 is implemented.
• EL0 is the current Exception level.
• PMUSERENR_EL0.UEN is 1.
• PMUACR_EL1.P<n> is 0.

Permitted writes of PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0 are ignored if all of the following are true:

• FEAT_PMUv3p9 is implemented.
• EL0 is the current Exception level.
• PMUSERENR_EL0.{UEN,ER} is {1,1}.

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