PMCNTENSET_EL0, Performance Monitors Count Enable Set Register

Purpose

Configuration

External register PMCNTENSET_EL0 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register PMCNTENSET_EL0[31:0] when FEAT_PMUv3_EXT32 is implemented, FEAT_PMUv3p9 is not implemented, and FEAT_PMUv3_ICNTR is not implemented.

External register PMCNTENSET_EL0 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register PMCNTENCLR_EL0[31:0] when FEAT_PMUv3_EXT32 is implemented, FEAT_PMUv3p9 is not implemented, and FEAT_PMUv3_ICNTR is not implemented.

External register PMCNTENSET_EL0 bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register PMCNTENSET_EL0[63:0] when FEAT_PMUv3_EXT64 is implemented or FEAT_PMUv3p9 is implemented.

External register PMCNTENSET_EL0 bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register PMCNTENCLR_EL0[63:0] when FEAT_PMUv3_EXT64 is implemented or FEAT_PMUv3p9 is implemented.

External register PMCNTENSET_EL0 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register PMCNTENCLR[31:0].

External register PMCNTENSET_EL0 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register PMCNTENSET[31:0].

This register is present only when FEAT_PMUv3_EXT is implemented and FEAT_PMUv3 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to PMCNTENSET_EL0 are RES0.

Accessing PMCNTENSET_EL0

Accesses to this register use the following encodings:

When FEAT_PMUv3_EXT64 is implemented, or FEAT_PMUv3_ICNTR is implemented, or FEAT_PMUv3p9 is implemented

[63:0] Accessible at offset 0xC00 from PMU

When DoubleLockStatus(), or !IsCorePowered(), or !AllowExternalPMUAccess(addrdesc), accesses to this register generate an error response.
When (FEAT_PMUv3_EXTPMN is not implemented, or !IsMostSecureAccess(addrdesc), or PMCCR().OSLO == '0') and OSLockStatus(), accesses to this register generate an error response.
When FEAT_PMUv3_EXT32 is implemented and SoftwareLockStatus(addrdesc), accesses to this register are RO.
Otherwise, accesses to this register are RW.

When FEAT_PMUv3_EXT32 is implemented, FEAT_PMUv3_ICNTR is not implemented, and FEAT_PMUv3p9 is not implemented

[31:0] Accessible at offset 0xC00 from PMU

When DoubleLockStatus(), or !IsCorePowered(), or !AllowExternalPMUAccess(addrdesc), accesses to this register generate an error response.
