Overlay flag. If a memory access generates a Data Abort for a Permission fault, then this field holds information about the fault.

Overlay	Meaning
0b0	Data Abort is not due to Overlay Permissions.
0b1	Data Abort is due to Overlay Permissions.

Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

0b011110	Granule Protection Check fault on write to trace buffer, other than Granule Protection Fault (GPF). That is, any of the following: Granule Protection Table (GPT) address size fault. GPT walk fault. Synchronous External abort on GPT fetch. A GPF on translation table walk or update is reported as either a Stage 1 or Stage 2 Data Abort, as appropriate. Other GPFs are reported as a Stage 1 Data Abort.	MSS encoding for other trace buffer management events	When FEAT_RME is implemented
0b011111	Buffer management event for an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED reason.	MSS encoding for a buffer management event for an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED reason

0b100101	Stage 2 Data Abort on write to trace buffer.	MSS encoding for stage 1 or stage 2 Data Aborts on write to trace buffer

All other values are reserved.

The reset behavior of this field is:

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

Reserved, RES0.

Data. Indicates when the Trace Buffer Unit has trace data that has not yet been written to memory.

DAT	Meaning
0b0	Internal buffers are empty. All Trace operations Accepted by the Trace Buffer Unit will Complete in finite time.
0b1	Internal buffers are not empty.

When TRBSR_EL1.{DAT, S} is {0, 1}, meaning Collection is stopped and the Trace Buffer Unit internal buffers are empty, then all trace data has been written to memory. An additional Data Synchronization Barrier may be required to ensure that the writes are Complete. When TRBSR_EL1.DAT is 0 and Collection is not stopped, there may still be trace data held by the trace unit that the Trace Buffer Unit has not Accepted.

That is, TRBSR_EL1.DAT reads as 1 when the Trace Buffer Unit has Accepted trace data from the trace unit, but has not yet written it to memory.

The reset behavior of this field is:

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

Maintenance interrupt status.

IRQ	Meaning
0b0	Maintenance interrupt is not asserted.
0b1	Maintenance interrupt is asserted.

The reset behavior of this field is:

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

Triggered.

TRG	Meaning
0b0	No Detected Trigger has been observed since this field was last cleared to zero.
0b1	A Detected Trigger has been observed since this field was last cleared to zero.

The reset behavior of this field is:

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

Wrapped.

WRAP	Meaning
0b0	The current write pointer has not wrapped since this field was last cleared to zero.
0b1	The current write pointer has wrapped since this field was last cleared to zero.

For each byte of trace the Trace Buffer Unit Accepts and writes to the trace buffer at the address in the current write pointer, if the current write pointer is equal to the Limit pointer minus one, the current write pointer is wrapped by setting it to the Base pointer, and this field is set to 1.

The reset behavior of this field is:

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

Reserved, RES0.

External Abort.

EA	Meaning
0b0	An External abort has not been asserted.
0b1	An External abort has been asserted and detected by the Trace Buffer Unit.
