PMINTEN, Performance Monitors Interrupt Enable register

The PMINTEN characteristics are:

Purpose

Enables the generation of interrupt requests on overflows from the Cycle Count Register, PMU.PMCCNTR_EL0, and the event counters PMU.PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0.

Configuration

External register PMINTEN bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register PMINTENSET_EL1[63:0].

External register PMINTEN bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register PMINTENCLR_EL1[63:0].

External register PMINTEN bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register PMINTENCLR[31:0].

External register PMINTEN bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register PMINTENSET[31:0].

This register is present only when FEAT_PMUv3_EXT64 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to PMINTEN are RES0.

Attributes

PMINTEN is a 64-bit register.

This register is part of the PMU block.

Bits [63:33]

Reserved, RES0.

F0, bit [32]
When FEAT_PMUv3_ICNTR is implemented:

Interrupt request on unsigned overflow of PMU.PMICNTR_EL0 enable.

F0Meaning
0b0

Interrupt request on unsigned overflow of PMU.PMICNTR_EL0 disabled.

0b1

Interrupt request on unsigned overflow of PMU.PMICNTR_EL0 enabled.

The reset behavior of this field is:


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

C, bit [31]

PMU.PMCCNTR_EL0 unsigned overflow interrupt request enable bit. Possible values are:

CMeaning
0b0

The cycle counter overflow interrupt request is disabled.

0b1

The cycle counter overflow interrupt request is enabled.

The reset behavior of this field is:

P<n>, bit [n], for n = 30 to 0

Event counter unsigned overflow interrupt request enable bit for PMU.PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0.

If PMU.PMCFGR.N is less than 31, bits [30:PMU.PMCFGR.N] are RAZ/WI.

P<n>Meaning
0b0

The PMU.PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0 event counter interrupt request is disabled.

0b1

The PMU.PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0 event counter interrupt request is enabled.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Accessing PMINTEN

Accesses to this register use the following encodings:
