CNTPCTSS_EL0, Counter-timer Self-Synchronized Physical Count Register

The CNTPCTSS_EL0 characteristics are:

Purpose

Holds the self-synchronized view of the 64-bit physical count value.

Configuration

AArch64 System register CNTPCTSS_EL0 bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register CNTPCTSS[63:0].

This register is present only when FEAT_ECV is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to CNTPCTSS_EL0 are UNDEFINED.

All reads to the CNTPCTSS_EL0 occur in program order relative to reads to CNTPCT_EL0 or CNTPCTSS_EL0.

This register is a self-synchronised view of the CNTPCT_EL0 counter, and cannot be read speculatively.

Attributes

CNTPCTSS_EL0 is a 64-bit register.
