VDISR_EL3

VDISR_EL3, Virtual Deferred Interrupt Status Register (EL3)

The VDISR_EL3 characteristics are:

Purpose

Records that a delegated SError exception has been consumed by an ESB instruction executed at EL2 or EL1 when the Effective value of SCR_EL3.DSE is 1.

An indirect write to VDISR_EL3 made by an ESB instruction does not require an explicit synchronization operation for the value written to be observed by a direct read of DISR_EL1 occurring in program order after the ESB instruction.

Configuration

This register is present only when FEAT_E3DSE is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to VDISR_EL3 are UNDEFINED.

Note

The encoding for this register is subject to change.

Attributes

VDISR_EL3 is a 64-bit register.

Accessing VDISR_EL3

An indirect write to VDISR_EL3 made by an ESB instruction does not require an explicit synchronization operation for the value that is written to be observed by a direct read of DISR_EL1 occurring in program order after the ESB instruction.

Note

The accessibility pseudocode for DISR_EL1 has not been updated to show the effect of VDISR_EL3.

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