The CNTHP_CVAL_EL2 characteristics are:
Holds the compare value for the EL2 physical timer.
AArch64 System register CNTHP_CVAL_EL2 bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register CNTHP_CVAL[63:0].
This register is present only when EL3 is implemented or (EL3 is not implemented, EL2 is implemented and FEAT_SEL2 is not implemented). Otherwise, direct accesses to CNTHP_CVAL_EL2 are UNDEFINED.
If EL2 is not implemented, this register is RES0 from EL3.
CNTHP_CVAL_EL2 is a 64-bit register.

Holds the EL2 physical timer CompareValue.
When CNTHP_CTL_EL2.ENABLE is 1, the timer condition is met when (CNTPCT_EL0 - CompareValue) is greater than or equal to zero. This means that CompareValue acts like a 64-bit upcounter timer. When the timer condition is met:
When CNTHP_CTL_EL2.ENABLE is 0, the timer condition is not met, but CNTPCT_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:
When HCR_EL2.E2H is 1, without explicit synchronization, access from EL2 using the mnemonic CNTHP_CVAL_EL2 or CNTP_CVAL_EL0 are not guaranteed to be ordered with respect to accesses using the other mnemonic.
Accesses to this register use the following encodings in the System register encoding space:
