CNTPOFF_EL2, Counter-timer Physical Offset Register

The CNTPOFF_EL2 characteristics are:

Purpose

Holds the 64-bit physical offset. This is the offset for the AArch64 physical timers and counters when Enhanced Counter Virtualization is enabled.

Configuration

This register is present only when FEAT_ECV is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to CNTPOFF_EL2 are UNDEFINED.

The CNTPOFF_EL2 offset applies to:

When EL2 is implemented and enabled in the current Security state, the physical counter uses a fixed physical offset of zero if any of the following are true:

Attributes

CNTPOFF_EL2 is a 64-bit register.
