Error recording
The component that detects an error is called a node. The Cortex-A76 core is a node that interacts with
the DynamIQ Shared Unit node. There is one record per node for the errors detected.
For more information on error recording generated by cache protection, see the
Arm
®
Reliability,
Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) Specification, Armv8, for the Armv8-A architecture profile
. The
following points apply specifically to the Cortex-A76 core:
• Error recording is only available when the core cache protection is implemented.
• In the Cortex-A76 core, any error that is detected is reported and recorded in the error record
registers:
—
B2.37 ERRSELR_EL1, Error Record Select Register, EL1
—
B2.38 ERXADDR_EL1, Selected Error Record Address Register, EL1
—
B2.39 ERXCTLR_EL1, Selected Error Record Control Register, EL1
—
B2.40 ERXFR_EL1, Selected Error Record Feature Register, EL1
—
B2.41 ERXMISC0_EL1, Selected Error Record Miscellaneous Register 0, EL1
—
B2.42 ERXMISC1_EL1, Selected Error Record Miscellaneous Register 1, EL1
—
B2.43 ERXPFGCDNR_EL1, Selected Error Pseudo Fault Generation Count Down Register, EL1
—
B2.44 ERXPFGCTLR_EL1, Selected Error Pseudo Fault Generation Control Register, EL1
—
B2.45 ERXPFGFR_EL1, Selected Pseudo Fault Generation Feature Register, EL1
—
B2.46 ERXSTATUS_EL1, Selected Error Record Primary Status Register, EL1
• There are two error records provided, which can be selected with the ERRSELR_EL1 register:
— Record 0 is private to the core, and is updated on any error in the core RAMs including L1
caches, TLB, and L2 cache.
— Record 1 records any error in the L3 and snoop filter RAMs and is shared between all cores in the
cluster.
• The fault handling interrupt is generated on the
nFAULTIRQ[0]
pin for L3 and snoop filter errors, or
on the
nFAULTIRQ[n+1]
pin for core
n
L1 and L2 errors.
