PMPIDR3

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.

If you have a public document, related to the IA32® specifications and missing from the collection, please mail it to me. The content of this URL and all sub-ULRs is available for convenient bulk download by rsync x86docs password "" (empty).

PMPIDR3, Performance Monitors Peripheral Identification Register 3

Purpose

Configuration

This register is present only when FEAT_PMUv3_EXT is implemented and an implementation implements PMPIDR3. Otherwise, direct accesses to PMPIDR3 are RES0.

If FEAT_DoPD is implemented, this register is in the Core power domain. If FEAT_DoPD is not implemented, this register is in the Debug power domain.

Attributes

Field descriptions

Bits [31:8]

REVAND, bits [7:4]

Indicates either the revision of the component, or whether the component has been modified.

Where the component has a single 4-bit revision number, the revision number is an incremental value starting at zero for the first revision of the component.

Where the component has separate major and minor revision numbers, the major and minor revision numbers are each incremental values starting at zero for the first revision of the component. For each minor revision of the component, the minor revision number increments monotonically. For each major revision of the component, the major revision number increments monotonically and the minor revision begins again at zero.

For a component with a 12-bit part number with a single 4-bit revision number:

PMPIDR2.REVISION indicates the 4-bit revision number.
PMPIDR3.REVAND indicates component modifications.

For a component with a 12-bit part number with separate major and minor revision numbers:

PMPIDR2.REVISION indicates the 4-bit major revision number.
PMPIDR3.REVAND indicates the 4-bit minor revision number.

For a component with a 16-bit part number:

PMPIDR2.REVISION contains part number bits [3:0].
PMPIDR3.REVAND indicates the 4-bit revision number.

The choice of which style of revision information is used is specific to the designer of the component, and might also be specific to each individual component with a different part number.

Where REVAND indicates component modifications, this indicates modifications such as errata fixes or metal fixes after implementation. Usually this value would be zero unless a modification has been performed. If the field is required for indicating component modifications, Arm recommends that component designers ensure that it can be changed by a metal fix, for example by driving it from registers that reset to zero.

PMPIDR3.CMOD might also indicate component modifications.

This field has an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED value.

Access to this field is RO.

CMOD, bits [3:0]

Indicates whether the component has been modified from its original behavior. Examples of modifications include errata fixes or metal fixes after implementation. Usually this value would be zero unless a modification has been performed. If the field is required for indicating component modifications, Arm recommends that component designers ensure that it can be changed by a metal fix, for example by driving it from registers that reset to zero.

A value of 0b0000 means the component is not modified from the original design.

Any other value means the component has been modified in an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED way.

For any two components with the same Unique Component Identifier:

If the value of the CMOD fields of both components equals zero, the components are identical.
If the CMOD fields of both components have the same nonzero value, it does not necessarily mean that they have the same modifications.
If the value of the CMOD field of either of the two components is nonzero, they might not be identical, even though they have the same Unique Component Identifier.

PMPIDR3.REVAND might also indicate component modifications.
