ACTLR_EL1, Auxiliary Control Register (EL1)

The ACTLR_EL1 characteristics are:

Purpose

Provides IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED configuration and control options for execution at EL1 and EL0.

Note

Arm recommends the contents of this register have no effect on the PE when HCR_EL2.{E2H, TGE} is {1, 1}, and instead the configuration and control fields are provided by the ACTLR_EL2 register. This avoids the need for software to manage the contents of these register when switching between a Guest OS and a Host OS.

Configuration

AArch64 System register ACTLR_EL1 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register ACTLR[31:0].

AArch64 System register ACTLR_EL1 bits [63:32] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register ACTLR2[31:0].

Attributes

ACTLR_EL1 is a 64-bit register.

Accessing ACTLR_EL1

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