TPIDR_EL3

EL3 Software Thread ID Register

Provides a location where software executing at EL3 can store thread identifying information, for OS management purposes.

The PE makes no use of this register.

Configuration

This register is present only when EL3 is implemented and FEAT_AA64 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to TPIDR_EL3 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

TPIDR_EL3 is a 64-bit register.

Access Instructions

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

MRS <Xt>, TPIDR_EL3

(op0 = 0b11, op1 = 0b110, CRn = 0b1101, CRm = 0b0000, op2 = 0b010)

if !(HaveEL(EL3) && IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_AA64)) then UNDEFINED; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL0 then UNDEFINED; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL1 then UNDEFINED; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL2 then UNDEFINED; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL3 then X[t, 64] = TPIDR_EL3;

MSR TPIDR_EL3, <Xt>

(op0 = 0b11, op1 = 0b110, CRn = 0b1101, CRm = 0b0000, op2 = 0b010)
