EC, [31:26]
Exception Class. Indicates the reason for the exception that this register holds information
about.
IL, [25]
Instruction Length for synchronous exceptions. The possible values are:
0
16-bit.
1
32-bit.
This field is
1
for the SError interrupt, instruction aborts, misaligned PC, Stack pointer
misalignment, data aborts for which the ISV bit is
0
, exceptions caused by an illegal instruction
set state, and exceptions using the
0x0
Exception Class.
ISS, [24:0]
Syndrome information.
When reporting a virtual SEI, bits[24:0] take the value of VSESRL_EL2[24:0].
When reporting a physical SEI, the following occurs:
• IDS==0 (architectural syndrome).
• AET always reports an uncontainable error (UC) with value
0b000
or an unrecoverable error (UEU)
with value
0b001
.
• EA is
RES0
.
When reporting a synchronous data abort, EA is
RES0
.
