PMCCNTR, Performance Monitors Cycle Count Register

The PMCCNTR characteristics are:

Purpose

Holds the value of the processor Cycle Counter, CCNT, that counts processor clock cycles. See 'Time as measured by the Performance Monitors cycle counter' for more information.

PMCCFILTR determines the modes and states in which the PMCCNTR can increment.

Configuration

AArch32 System register PMCCNTR bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register PMCCNTR_EL0[63:0].

AArch32 System register PMCCNTR bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to External register PMU.PMCCNTR_EL0[63:0].

This register is present only when AArch32 is supported and FEAT_PMUv3 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to PMCCNTR are UNDEFINED.

PMCCNTR is a 64-bit register that can also be accessed as a 32-bit value. If it is accessed as a 32-bit register, accesses read and write bits [31:0] and do not modify bits [63:32].

All counters are subject to any changes in clock frequency, including clock stopping caused by the WFI and WFE instructions. This means that it is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE whether or not PMCCNTR continues to increment when clocks are stopped by WFI and WFE instructions.

Attributes

PMCCNTR is a 64-bit register.

CCNT, bits [63:0]

Cycle count. Depending on the values of PMCR.{LC,D}, this field increments in one of the following ways:

Writing 1 to PMCR.C sets this field to 0.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Accessing PMCCNTR

Permitted reads and writes of PMCCNTR are RAZ/WI if all of the following are true:

Permitted writes of PMCCNTR are ignored if all of the following are true:

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