PMINTENSET_EL1

PMINTENSET_EL1, Performance Monitors Interrupt Enable Set Register

The PMINTENSET_EL1 characteristics are:

Purpose

Allows software to enable the generation of interrupt requests or, when FEAT_EBEP is implemented, PMU Profiling exceptions on overflows from the following counters:

Reading from this register shows which overflow interrupt requests or PMU Profiling exceptions are enabled.

Configuration

AArch64 System register PMINTENSET_EL1 bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register PMINTENCLR_EL1[63:0].

AArch64 System register PMINTENSET_EL1 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register PMINTENSET[31:0].

AArch64 System register PMINTENSET_EL1 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register PMINTENCLR[31:0].

AArch64 System register PMINTENSET_EL1 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to External register PMINTENSET_EL1[31:0].

AArch64 System register PMINTENSET_EL1 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to External register PMINTENCLR_EL1[31:0].

AArch64 System register PMINTENSET_EL1 bits [63:32] are architecturally mapped to External register PMINTENSET_EL1[63:32] when FEAT_PMUv3p9 is implemented or FEAT_PMUv3_EXT64 is implemented.

AArch64 System register PMINTENSET_EL1 bits [63:32] are architecturally mapped to External register PMINTENCLR_EL1[63:32] when FEAT_PMUv3p9 is implemented or FEAT_PMUv3_EXT64 is implemented.

This register is present only when FEAT_PMUv3 is implemented and FEAT_AA64 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to PMINTENSET_EL1 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

PMINTENSET_EL1 is a 64-bit register.

Bits [63:33]

Reserved, RES0.

F0, bit [32]
When FEAT_PMUv3_ICNTR is implemented:

Interrupt request or PMU Profiling exception on unsigned overflow of PMICNTR_EL0 enable. On writes, allows software to enable the interrupt request or PMU Profiling exception on unsigned overflow of PMICNTR_EL0. On reads, returns the interrupt request or PMU Profiling exception on unsigned overflow of PMICNTR_EL0 enable status.

F0Meaning
0b0

Interrupt request or PMU Profiling exception on unsigned overflow of PMICNTR_EL0 disabled.

0b1

Interrupt request or PMU Profiling exception on unsigned overflow of PMICNTR_EL0 enabled.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Accessing this field has the following behavior:


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

C, bit [31]

Interrupt request or PMU Profiling exception on unsigned overflow of PMCCNTR_EL0 enable. On writes, allows software to enable the interrupt request or PMU Profiling exception on unsigned overflow of PMCCNTR_EL0. On reads, returns the interrupt request or PMU Profiling exception on unsigned overflow of PMCCNTR_EL0 enable status.

CMeaning
0b0

Interrupt request or PMU Profiling exception on unsigned overflow of PMCCNTR_EL0 disabled.

0b1
