TPIDR_EL0

EL0 Read/Write Software Thread ID Register

Provides a location where software executing at EL0 can store thread identifying information, for OS management purposes.

The PE makes no use of this register.

Configuration

AArch64 System register TPIDR_EL0 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register TPIDRURW[31:0].

This register is present only when FEAT_AA64 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to TPIDR_EL0 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

TPIDR_EL0 is a 64-bit register.
