HIFAR

Holds the virtual address of the faulting address that caused a synchronous Prefetch Abort exception that is taken to Hyp mode.

Configuration

AArch32 System register HIFAR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register FAR_EL2[63:32].

AArch32 System register HIFAR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register IFAR[31:0] (IFAR_S) when EL2 is implemented, EL3 is implemented and the implementation only supports execution in AArch32 state.

This register is present only when EL2 is capable of using AArch32. Otherwise, direct accesses to HIFAR are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

Field descriptions

VA, bits [31:0]

VA of faulting address of synchronous Prefetch Abort exception taken to Hyp mode.

On a Data Abort exception, this register is UNKNOWN.

Any execution in a Non-secure EL1 or Non-secure EL0 mode makes this register UNKNOWN.

The reset behavior of this field is:

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

Accessing HIFAR

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

MRC{<c>}{<q>} <coproc>, {#}<opc1>, <Rt>, <CRn>, <CRm>{, {#}<opc2>}

coproc	opc1	CRn	CRm	opc2
