PMZR_EL0

Performance Monitors Zero with Mask

Zero the set of counters specified by the mask written to PMZR_EL0.

Configuration

AArch64 System register PMZR_EL0 bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to External register PMZR_EL0[63:0] when FEAT_PMUv3_EXT is implemented and FEAT_PMUv3p9 is implemented.

This register is present only when FEAT_PMUv3p9 is implemented and FEAT_AA64 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to PMZR_EL0 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

PMZR_EL0 is a 64-bit register.
