CNTV_TVAL_EL0, Counter-timer Virtual Timer TimerValue Register

The CNTV_TVAL_EL0 characteristics are:

Purpose

Holds the timer value for the EL1 virtual timer.

Configuration

AArch64 System register CNTV_TVAL_EL0 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register CNTV_TVAL[31:0].

Attributes

CNTV_TVAL_EL0 is a 64-bit register.

TimerValue, bits [31:0]

The TimerValue view of the EL1 virtual timer.

On a read of this register:

On a write of this register, CNTV_CVAL_EL0 is set to (CNTVCT_EL0 + TimerValue), where TimerValue is treated as a signed 32-bit integer.

When CNTV_CTL_EL0.ENABLE is 1, the timer condition is met when (CNTVCT_EL0 - CNTV_CVAL_EL0) is greater than or equal to zero. This means that TimerValue acts like a 32-bit downcounter timer. When the timer condition is met:

When CNTV_CTL_EL0.ENABLE is 0, the TimerValue cannot be read but continues to decrement. When the timer is enabled, the TimerValue represents the elapsed time whether that time was spent enabled or disabled.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Accessing CNTV_TVAL_EL0

When the Effective value of HCR_EL2.E2H is 1, without explicit synchronization, accesses from EL3 using the accessor name CNTV_TVAL_EL0 or CNTV_TVAL_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:
