POR_EL2

Stage 1 Permission Overlay Register for privileged access of the EL2 or EL2&0 translation regime.

Configuration

This register is present only when FEAT_S1POE is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to POR_EL2 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

Field descriptions

Perm<m>, bits [4m+3:4m], for m = 15 to 0

Perm Represents stage 1 Overlay Permissions.

Perm<m>	Meaning
0b0000	No access.
0b0001	Read.
0b0010	Execute.
0b0011	Read, Execute.
0b0100	Write.
0b0101	Write, Read.
0b0110	Write, Execute.
0b0111	Read, Write, Execute.
0b1xxx	Reserved - treated as No access

When VMSAv9-128 is not in use, fields Perm[8] to Perm[15] are RES0.

This field is not permitted to be cached in a TLB.

When the stage 1 Overlay mechanism is disabled, this field is IGNORED.

The reset behavior of this field is:

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

Accessing POR_EL2

When the Effective value of HCR_EL2.E2H is 1, without explicit synchronization, accesses from EL2 using the accessor name POR_EL2 or POR_EL1 are not guaranteed to be ordered with respect to accesses using the other accessor name.

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