GICC_HPPIR, CPU Interface Highest Priority Pending Interrupt Register

The GICC_HPPIR characteristics are:

Purpose

Provides the INTID of the highest priority pending interrupt on the CPU interface.

Configuration

This register is present only when FEAT_GICv3_LEGACY is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to GICC_HPPIR are RES0.

If GICD_CTLR.DS==0:

Attributes

GICC_HPPIR is a 32-bit register.

INTID, bits [23:0]

The INTID of the signaled interrupt.

Note

INTIDs 1020-1023 are reserved and convey additional information such as spurious interrupts.

When affinity routing is not enabled:

Accessing GICC_HPPIR

This register is used only when System register access is not enabled. When System register access is enabled:

If the highest priority pending interrupt is in Group 0, a Non-secure read of this register returns the special INTID 1023.

For Secure reads when GICD_CTLR.DS==0, or for Secure and Non-secure reads when GICD_CTLR.DS==1, returns the special INTID 1022 if the highest priority pending interrupt is in Group 1.

If no interrupts are in the pending state, a read of this register returns the special INTID 1023.

Interrupt identifiers corresponding to an interrupt group that is not enabled are ignored.

If the highest priority pending interrupt is a direct interrupt that is both individually enabled in the Distributor and part of an interrupt group that is enabled in the Distributor, and the interrupt group is disabled in the CPU interface for this PE, this register returns the special INTID 1023.

For more information about pending interrupts that are not considered when determining the highest priority pending interrupt, see 'Preemption' in ARM® Generic Interrupt Controller Architecture Specification, GIC architecture version 3.0 and version 4.0 (ARM IHI 0069).

When affinity routing is enabled for a Security state, it is a programming error to use memory-mapped registers to access the GIC.

GICC_HPPIR can be accessed through the memory-mapped interfaces:
