TRBMPAM_EL1

TRBMPAM_EL1, Trace Buffer MPAM Configuration Register

The TRBMPAM_EL1 characteristics are:

Purpose

Defines the PARTID, PMG, and MPAM_SP values used by the trace buffer unit in external mode.

Configuration

AArch64 System register TRBMPAM_EL1 bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to External register TRBMPAM_EL1[63:0].

This register is present only when FEAT_TRBE_MPAM is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to TRBMPAM_EL1 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

TRBMPAM_EL1 is a 64-bit register.

This field is ignored by the PE when SelfHostedTraceEnabled() == TRUE.

The reset behavior of this field is:

MPAM_SP, bits [25:24]

Partition Identifier space. Selects the PARTID space.

MPAM_SPMeaningApplies when
0b00

PARTID is in the Secure PARTID space.

When FEAT_Secure is implemented
0b01

PARTID is in the Non-secure PARTID space.

0b10

PARTID is in the Root PARTID space.

When FEAT_RME is implemented
0b11

PARTID is in the Realm PARTID space.

When FEAT_RME is implemented

If the Trace Buffer Unit is using external mode and either TRBMPAM_EL1.MPAM_SP is set to reserved value, or the IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED authentication interface prohibits invasive debug of the Security state corresponding to the Partition Identifier space selected by TRBMPAM_EL1.MPAM_SP, then when the Trace Buffer Unit receives trace data from the trace unit, it does not write the trace data to memory and generates a trace buffer management event.

The interface prohibits invasive debug of the Security state if any of the following apply:

This field is ignored by the PE when SelfHostedTraceEnabled() == TRUE.

The reset behavior of this field is:

PMG, bits [23:16]

Performance Monitoring Group. Selects the PMG.

Only sufficient low-order bits are required to represent the TRBDEVID1.PMG_MAX. Higher-order bits are RES0.

This field is ignored by the PE when SelfHostedTraceEnabled() == TRUE.

The reset behavior of this field is:

PARTID, bits [15:0]

Partition Identifier. Selects the PARTID.

Only sufficient low-order bits are required to represent the TRBDEVID1.PARTID_MAX. Higher-order bits are RES0.

This field is ignored by the PE when SelfHostedTraceEnabled() == TRUE.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Accessing TRBMPAM_EL1

The PE might ignore a write to TRBMPAM_EL1 if any of the following apply:
