HDBSSBR

This register is present only when FEAT_HDBSS is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to HDBSSBR_EL2 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

Field descriptions

Bits [63:56]

BADDR, bits [55:12]

HDBSS base address, bits [55:12].

Bits [55:12] of the base address are the value of this field.
Bits [11:0] of the base address are 0.

Bits of this field above the implemented physical address size, indicated in ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1.PARange, are RES0.

Similarly, based on the value of the SZ field of this register, for encodings of the SZ field greater than 4KB, bits [(SZ+12-1):12] of this field are RES0. HDBSS must be aligned to its size.

The reset behavior of this field is:

On a Warm reset, this field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

Bits [11:4]

SZ, bits [3:0]

Size of the HDBSS.

SZ	Meaning
0b0001	8KB
0b0010	16KB
0b0011	32KB
0b0100	64KB
0b0101	128KB
0b0110	256KB
0b0111	512KB
0b1000	1MB
0b1001	2MB

All other values are reserved.

The reset behavior of this field is:

On a Warm reset, this field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

Accessing HDBSSBR_EL2

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