PIR_EL1, Permission Indirection Register 1 (EL1)

The PIR_EL1 characteristics are:

Purpose

Stage 1 Permission Indirection Register for privileged access of the EL1&0 translation regime.

Configuration

This register is present only when FEAT_S1PIE is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to PIR_EL1 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

PIR_EL1 is a 64-bit register.
