CNTV_CVAL_EL0, Counter-timer Virtual Timer CompareValue Register

The CNTV_CVAL_EL0 characteristics are:

Purpose

Holds the compare value for the virtual timer.

Configuration

AArch64 System register CNTV_CVAL_EL0 bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register CNTV_CVAL[63:0].

Attributes

CNTV_CVAL_EL0 is a 64-bit register.

CompareValue
CompareValue

CompareValue, bits [63:0]

Holds the EL1 virtual timer CompareValue.

When CNTV_CTL_EL0.ENABLE is 1, and TimerConditionMet is TRUE for the EL1 physical timer, the timer condition is met and all of the following are true:

TimerConditionMet is defined by 'Operation of the CompareValue views of the timers'.

The CompareValue view of the timer acts like a 64-bit upcounter timer.

When CNTV_CTL_EL0.ENABLE is 0, the timer condition is not met, but CNTVCT_EL0 continues to count.

If the Generic counter is implemented at a size less than 64 bits, then this field is permitted to be implemented at the same width as the counter, and the upper bits are RES0.

The value of this field is treated as zero-extended in all counter calculations.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Accessing CNTV_CVAL_EL0

When the Effective value of HCR_EL2.E2H is 1, without explicit synchronization, accesses from EL3 using the accessor name CNTV_CVAL_EL0 or CNTV_CVAL_EL02 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:
