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.

TRCIMSPEC<n>

TRCIMSPEC<n>, Trace IMP DEF Register <n>, n = 1 - 7

The TRCIMSPEC<n> characteristics are:

Purpose

These registers might return information that is specific to an implementation, or enable features specific to an implementation to be programmed. The product Technical Reference Manual describes these registers.

Configuration

AArch64 System register TRCIMSPEC<n> bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to External register TRCIMSPEC<n>[31:0].

This register is present only when an implementation implements TRCIMSPEC<n>, FEAT_ETE is implemented, and System register access to the trace unit registers is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to TRCIMSPEC<n> are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

TRCIMSPEC<n> is a 64-bit register.

Accessing TRCIMSPEC<n>

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

MRS <Xt>, TRCIMSPEC<m> ; Where m = 1-7
