AMCNTENSET0_EL0

AMCNTENSET0_EL0, Activity Monitors Count Enable Set Register 0

The AMCNTENSET0_EL0 characteristics are:

Purpose

Enable control bits for the architected activity monitors event counters, AMEVCNTR0<n>_EL0.

Configuration

AArch64 System register AMCNTENSET0_EL0 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register AMCNTENSET0[31:0].

AArch64 System register AMCNTENSET0_EL0 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to External register AMCNTENSET0[31:0].

AArch64 System register AMCNTENSET0_EL0 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to External register AMCNTENSET[31:0].

AArch64 System register AMCNTENSET0_EL0 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to External register AMCNTENCLR0[31:0].

This register is present only when FEAT_AMUv1 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to AMCNTENSET0_EL0 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

AMCNTENSET0_EL0 is a 64-bit register.

Bits [63:16]

Reserved, RES0.

Bits [15:4]

Reserved, RAZ/WI.

This field is reserved for additional architected activity monitor event counters, which Arm might define in a future version of the Activity Monitors architecture.

P<n>, bit [n], for n = 3 to 0

Activity monitor event counter enable bit for AMEVCNTR0<n>_EL0.

Note

AMCGCR_EL0.CG0NC identifies the number of architected activity monitor event counters. In an implementation that includes FEAT_AMUv1, the number of architected activity monitor event counters is 4.

Possible values of each bit are:

P<n>Meaning
0b0

When read, means that AMEVCNTR0<n>_EL0 is disabled. When written, has no effect.

0b1

When read, means that AMEVCNTR0<n>_EL0 is enabled. When written, enables AMEVCNTR0<n>_EL0.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Accessing this field has the following behavior:

Accessing AMCNTENSET0_EL0
