Table A-1 Armv8 Debug UNPREDICTABLE behaviors (continued)
Scenario
Behavior
Accessing reserved debug registers
The core deviates from preferred behavior because the hardware cost to decode
some of these addresses in debug power domain is significantly high.
The actual behavior is:
1. For reserved debug registers in the address range
0x000
-
0xCFC
and
Performance Monitors registers in the address range
0x000
, the response is
either
CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE
Error or
RES0
when any of the following
errors occurs:
Off
The core power domain is either completely off or in a low-power
state where the core power domain registers cannot be accessed.
DLK
DoubleLockStatus()
is TRUE and OS double-lock is locked
(EDPRSR.DLK is 1).
OSLK
OS lock is locked (OSLSR_EL1.OSLK is 1).
2. For reserved debug registers in the address ranges
0x400
-
0x4FC
and
0x800
-
0x8FC
, the response is
CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE
Error or
RES0
do not apply and the following error occurs:
EDAD
AllowExternalDebugAccess()
is FALSE. External debug
access is disabled.
3. For reserved Performance Monitor registers in the address ranges
0x000
-
0x0FC
and
0x400
-
0x47C
, the response is either
CONSTRAINED
UNPREDICTABLE
Error, or
RES0
when the conditions in
and
do not apply,
and the following error occurs:
EPMAD
AllowExternalPMUAccess()
is FALSE. External Performance
Monitors access is disabled.
Clearing the
clear-after-read
EDPRSR bits when
Core power domain is on, and
DoubleLockStatus()
is TRUE
The core behaves as indicated in the sole Preference:
•
Bits are not cleared to zero.
