Random Allocation Tag Seed Register.
Random Allocation Tag Seed Register.
This register is present only when FEAT_MTE2 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to RGSR_EL1 are UNDEFINED.
When GCR_EL1.RRND==0b1, updates to RGSR_EL1 are implementation-specific.
Direct and indirect reads and writes to the register appear to occur in program order relative to other instructions, without the need for any explicit synchronization.
RGSR_EL1 is a 64-bit register.
