MPAMBWCAP_EL2, MPAM PE-side Maximum-bandwidth Limit Virtualization Register

The MPAMBWCAP_EL2 characteristics are:

Purpose

Allows software executing at EL2 to provide MPAMBWCAP_EL2.CAP as an upper bound to MPAMBW1_EL1.MAX.

If FEAT_SME is implemented, the upper bound also applies to MPAMBWSM_EL1.MAX when executing at EL1: the maximum bandwidth allowed for the PE is MIN(MPAMBWSM_EL1.MAX, MPAMBWCAP_EL2.CAP).

If the Effective value of HCR_EL2.{E2H,TGE} is not {1,1}:

If MPAMBWCAP_EL2.ENABLED is 1, a PARTID that has used more than min(CAP,MAX) is given no access to additional bandwidth.

Configuration

This register is present only when FEAT_MPAM_PE_BW_CTRL is implemented and MPAMIDR_EL1.HAS_HCR == 1. Otherwise, direct accesses to MPAMBWCAP_EL2 are UNDEFINED.

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

Attributes

MPAMBWCAP_EL2 is a 64-bit register.

HW_SCALE_ENABLE, bit [63]
When MPAMBWIDR_EL1.HAS_HW_SCALE == 1:

Enables hardware bandwidth scaling of the MPAMBWCAP_EL2.CAP value.

HW_SCALE_ENABLEMeaning
0b0

PE-side memory bandwidth control hardware scaling for EL2 capping is disabled.

0b1

PE-side memory bandwidth control hardware scaling for EL2 capping is enabled.

The reset behavior of this field is:


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

ENABLED, bit [62]

Enables the PE-side memory bandwidth control capping by EL2.

ENABLEDMeaning
0b0

The PE-side memory bandwidth control capping by EL2 is disabled.

0b1

The PE-side memory bandwidth control capping by EL2 is enabled.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Bits [61:32]

Reserved, RES0.

CAP, bits [31:0]

CAP encoding when MPAMBWIDR_EL1.HAS_HW_SCALE == 1 and MPAMBWCAP_EL2.HW_SCALE_ENABLE == 1

CAP

CAP, bits [31:0]

Upper bound to the maximum memory bandwidth allocated to the current PARTID in MPAMBW1_EL1.MAX, MPAMBW0_EL1.MAX and MPAMBWSM_EL1.MAX.

The value is represented as a multiplier of the available bandwidth for the PE. The value is represented in base-2 fixed-point format.

Bits [31:16] represent the integer part of the value.

Bits [15:(16 - MPAMBWIDR_EL1.BWA_WD)] represent the fractional part of the value. When MPAMBWIDR_EL1.BWA_WD indicates a width less than 16 bits, bits [(15 - MPAMBWIDR_EL1.BWA_WD):0] are RES0.

The value set in the MAX field must be less than or equal to this upper bound.

The reset behavior of this field is:

  • On a Warm reset, this field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

CAP encoding when MPAMBWIDR_EL1.HAS_HW_SCALE == 0 or MPAMBWCAP_EL2.HW_SCALE_ENABLE == 0

RES0CAP

Bits [31:16]

Reserved, RES0.

CAP, bits [15:0]

Upper bound to the maximum memory bandwidth allocated to the current PARTID in MPAMBW1_EL1.MAX, MPAMBW0_EL1.MAX and MPAMBWSM_EL1.MAX.

The value is represented as a fraction of the available bandwidth for the PE. The value is represented in base-2 fixed-point format.

Bits [15:(16 - MPAMBWIDR_EL1.BWA_WD)] represent the fractional part of the value. When MPAMBWIDR_EL1.BWA_WD indicates a width less than 16 bits, bits [(15 - MPAMBWIDR_EL1.BWA_WD):0] are RES0.

The value set in the MAX field must be less than or equal to this upper bound.

The reset behavior of this field is:

  • On a Warm reset, this field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.
