MPAMBW2_EL2, MPAM PE-side Maximum-bandwidth Control Register (EL2)

The MPAMBW2_EL2 characteristics are:

Purpose

Enables software to configure a maximum fraction of memory bandwidth that the PE is permitted to use when executing at EL2 with its current PARTID.

Configuration

This register is present only when FEAT_MPAM_PE_BW_CTRL is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to MPAMBW2_EL2 are UNDEFINED.

This register has no effect if EL2 is not enabled in the current Security state.

Attributes

MPAMBW2_EL2 is a 64-bit register.

MAX

MAX, bits [31:0]

Maximum memory bandwidth allocated to the PE when executing at EL2 with its current PARTID.

Accessing MPAMBW2_EL2

When the Effective value of HCR_EL2.E2H is 1, without explicit synchronization, accesses from EL2 using the accessor name MPAMBW2_EL2 or MPAMBW1_EL1 are not guaranteed to be ordered with respect to accesses using the other accessor name.

Accesses to this register use the following encodings in the System register encoding space:
