TCR2MASK_EL2, Extended Translation Control Masking Register (EL2)

The TCR2MASK_EL2 characteristics are:

Purpose

Mask register to prevent updates of fields in TCR2_EL2 on writes.

Configuration

This register is present only when FEAT_SRMASK is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to TCR2MASK_EL2 are UNDEFINED.

If EL2 is not implemented, this register is RES0 from EL3.

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

Attributes

TCR2MASK_EL2 is a 64-bit register.

Accessing TCR2MASK_EL2

When the Effective value of HCR_EL2.E2H is 1, without explicit synchronization, accesses from EL2 using the accessor name TCR2MASK_EL2 or TCR2MASK_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:
