This is a collection of Intel®’ IA32® Software Developer's Manuals (URL of the day) and AMD' AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual together with the related specifications, application notes, white papers, and change logs. The collection aims to keep all available revisions. It was originally created by Michal Necasek, see OS/2 Museum.

PMEVCNTR<n>, Performance Monitors Event Count Registers, n = 0 - 30

Purpose

Configuration

AArch32 System register PMEVCNTR<n> bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0[31:0].

AArch32 System register PMEVCNTR<n> bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to External register PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0[31:0].

This register is present only when FEAT_AA32 is implemented and FEAT_PMUv3 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to PMEVCNTR<n> are UNDEFINED.

Accessing PMEVCNTR<n>

PMEVCNTR<n> can also be accessed by using PMXEVCNTR with PMSELR.SEL set to n.

If FEAT_FGT is implemented and <n> is greater than or equal to the number of accessible event counters, then the behavior of permitted reads and writes of PMEVCNTR<n> is as follows:

If <n> is greater than or equal to the Effective value of PMCCR.EPMN, the access is UNDEFINED.
Otherwise, the access is trapped to EL2.

If FEAT_FGT is not implemented and <n> is greater than or equal to the number of accessible event counters, then reads and writes of PMEVCNTR<n> are CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE, and the following behaviors are permitted:

Accesses to the register are UNDEFINED.
Accesses to the register behave as RAZ/WI.
Accesses to the register execute as a NOP.
Accesses to the register behave as if <n> is an UNKNOWN value less-than-or-equal-to the index of the highest accessible event counter.
If EL2 is implemented and enabled in the current Security state, and <n> is less than the number of implemented event counters, accesses from EL1 or permitted accesses from EL0 are trapped to EL2.

Permitted reads and writes of PMEVCNTR<n> are RAZ/WI if all of the following are true:

FEAT_PMUv3p9 is implemented.
PSTATE.EL == EL0.
EL1 is using AArch64.
PMUSERENR_EL0.UEN == 1.
PMUACR_EL1.P<n> == 0.

Permitted writes of PMEVCNTR<n> are ignored if all of the following are true:

FEAT_PMUv3p9 is implemented.
PSTATE.EL == EL0.
EL1 is using AArch64.
PMUSERENR_EL0.{UEN,ER} == {1,1}.

Note

In EL0, an access is permitted if it is enabled by PMUSERENR.{ER,EN} or PMUSERENR_EL0.{UEN,ER,EN}.

If EL2 is implemented and enabled in the current Security state, at EL0 and EL1:

If EL2 is using AArch32, HDCR.HPMN identifies the number of accessible event counters.
If EL2 is using AArch64, MDCR_EL2.HPMN identifies the number of accessible event counters.

Otherwise, the number of accessible event counters is the number of implemented event counters. For more information, see HDCR.HPMN and MDCR_EL2.HPMN.

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