PMCCFILTR, Performance Monitors Cycle Count Filter Register

The PMCCFILTR characteristics are:

Purpose

Determines the modes in which the Cycle Counter, PMCCNTR, increments.

Configuration

AArch32 System register PMCCFILTR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register PMCCFILTR_EL0[31:0].

AArch32 System register PMCCFILTR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to External register PMU.PMCCFILTR_EL0[31:0].

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

Attributes

PMCCFILTR is a 32-bit register.

P, bit [31]

Privileged filtering. Controls counting cycles in EL1 and, if EL3 is using AArch32, EL3.

PMeaning
0b0

This mechanism has no effect on filtering of cycles.

0b1

The PE does not count cycles in EL1 and, if EL3 is using AArch32, EL3.

If Secure and Non-secure states are implemented, then counting cycles in Non-secure EL1 is further controlled by PMCCFILTR.NSK.

The reset behavior of this field is:

U, bit [30]

User filtering. Controls counting cycles in EL0.

UMeaning
0b0

This mechanism has no effect on filtering of cycles.

0b1

The PE does not count cycles in EL0.

If Secure and Non-secure states are implemented, then counting cycles in Non-secure EL0 is further controlled by PMCCFILTR.NSU.

If FEAT_RME is implemented, then counting cycles in Realm EL0 is further controlled by PMCCFILTR.RLU.

The reset behavior of this field is:

NSK, bit [29]
When EL3 is implemented:

Non-secure EL1 filtering. Controls counting cycles in Non-secure EL1. If PMCCFILTR.NSK is not equal to PMCCFILTR.P, then the PE does not count cycles in Non-secure EL1. Otherwise, this mechanism has no effect on filtering of cycles in Non-secure EL1.

NSKMeaning
0b0

When PMCCFILTR.P == 0, this mechanism has no effect on filtering of cycles.

When PMCCFILTR.P == 1, the PE does not count cycles in Non-secure EL1.

0b1

When PMCCFILTR.P == 0, the PE does not count cycles in Non-secure EL1.

When PMCCFILTR.P == 1, this mechanism has no effect on filtering of cycles.

The reset behavior of this field is:


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

NSU, bit [28]
When EL3 is implemented:

Non-secure EL0 filtering. Controls counting cycles in Non-secure EL0. If PMCCFILTR.NSU is not equal to PMCCFILTR.U, then the PE does not count cycles in Non-secure EL0. Otherwise, this mechanism has no effect on filtering of cycles in Non-secure EL0.

NSUMeaning
0b0

When PMCCFILTR.U == 0, this mechanism has no effect on filtering of cycles.

When PMCCFILTR.U == 1, the PE does not count cycles in Non-secure EL0.

0b1

When PMCCFILTR.U == 0, the PE does not count cycles in Non-secure EL0.

When PMCCFILTR.U == 1, this mechanism has no effect on filtering of cycles.

The reset behavior of this field is:


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

NSH, bit [27]
When EL2 is implemented:

EL2 filtering. Controls counting cycles in EL2.

NSHMeaning
0b0

The PE does not count cycles in EL2.

0b1

This mechanism has no effect on filtering of cycles.

If EL3 is implemented and FEAT_SEL2 is implemented, then counting cycles in Secure EL2 is further controlled by PMCCFILTR.SH.

The reset behavior of this field is:


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

Bits [26:22]

Reserved, RES0.

RLU, bit [21]
When FEAT_RME is implemented:

Realm EL0 filtering. Controls counting cycles in Realm EL0. If PMCCFILTR.RLU is not equal to PMCCFILTR.U, then the PE does not count cycles in Realm EL0. Otherwise, this mechanism has no effect on filtering of cycles in Realm EL0.

RLUMeaning
0b0

When PMCCFILTR.U == 0, this mechanism has no effect on filtering of cycles.

When PMCCFILTR.U == 1, the PE does not count cycles in Realm EL0.

0b1

When PMCCFILTR.U == 0, the PE does not count cycles in Realm EL0.

When PMCCFILTR.U == 1, this mechanism has no effect on filtering of cycles.

The reset behavior of this field is:


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

Bits [20:0]

Reserved, RES0.

Accessing PMCCFILTR

PMCCFILTR can also be accessed by using PMXEVTYPER with PMSELR.SEL set to 0b11111.

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

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

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