SPMZR_EL0

System Performance Monitors Zero with Mask

Zero the set of System PMU event counters specified by the mask written to SPMZR_EL0.

Configuration

This register is present only when FEAT_SPMU2 is implemented and FEAT_AA64 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to SPMZR_EL0 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

SPMZR_EL0 is a 64-bit register.

P<m>, bit [m], for m = 63 to 0:

Zero event counter <m>.

P<m>Meaning
0b0

Write is ignored.

0b1

Set event counter<m> in System PMU <s> to zero.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Accessing this field has the following behavior:

Access Instructions

To access SPMZR_EL0 for System PMU <s>, set SPMSELR_EL0.SYSPMUSEL to s.

SPMZR_EL0 ignores writes if System PMU <s> is not implemented.

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

MSR SPMZR_EL0, <Xt>

(op0 = 0b10, op1 = 0b011, CRn = 0b1001, CRm = 0b1100, op2 = 0b100)
