Trace ID Register 8
Returns the maximum speculation depth of the instruction trace element stream.
AArch64 System register TRCIDR8 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to External register TRCIDR8[31:0].
This register is present only when FEAT_ETE is implemented and System register access to the trace unit registers is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to TRCIDR8 are UNDEFINED.
TRCIDR8 is a 64-bit register.

Reserved, RES0.
Indicates the maximum speculation depth of the instruction trace element stream. This is the maximum number of P0 elements in the trace element stream that can be speculative at any time.
This field has an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED value.
Access to this field is RO.
Accesses to this register use the following encodings in the System register encoding space:
