Table A-1 Armv8 Debug UNPREDICTABLE behaviors (continued)
Scenario
Behavior
P ≥ M and P ≠ 31: reads and writes of PM
XEVTYPER_EL0 and PMXEVCNTR_EL0
The core implements:
•
A simple implementation where all of SEL[4:0] are implemented, and if P ≥
M and P ≠ 31 then the register is
RES0
.
P ≥ M and P ≠ 31: value read in
PMSELR_EL0.SEL
The core implements:
•
A simple implementation where all of SEL[4:0] are implemented, and if P ≥
M and P ≠ 31 then the register is
RES0
.
P = 31: reads and writes of PMXEVCNTR_EL0
The core implements:
•
RES0
.
n ≥ M: Direct access to PMEVCNTRn_EL0 and
PMEVTYPERn_EL0
The core implements:
•
If n ≥ N, then the instruction is
UNALLOCATED
.
•
Otherwise if n ≥ M, then the register is
RES0
.
Exiting Debug state while instruction issued
through EDITR is in flight
The core implements the following option:
•
The instruction completes in Debug state before executing the restart.
Using memory-access mode with a non-word-
aligned address
The core behaves as indicated in the sole Preference:
•
Does unaligned accesses, faulting if these are not permitted for the memory
type.
Access to memory-mapped registers mapped to
Normal memory
The core behaves as indicated in the sole Preference:
•
The access is generated, and accesses might be repeated, gathered, split or
resized, in accordance with the rules for Normal memory, meaning the effect is
UNPREDICTABLE
.
Not word-sized accesses or (AArch64 only)
doubleword-sized accesses
>
The core behaves as indicated in the sole Preference:
•
Reads occur and return
UNKNOWN
data.
•
Writes set the accessed register(s) to
UNKNOWN
.
External debug write to register that is being reset The core behaves as indicated in the sole Preference:
•
Takes reset value.
