TRBMAR_EL1, Trace Buffer Memory Attribute Register

The TRBMAR_EL1 characteristics are:

Purpose

Controls Trace Buffer Unit accesses to memory.

If the trace buffer pointers specify virtual addresses, the address properties are defined by the translation tables and this register is ignored.

Configuration

AArch64 System register TRBMAR_EL1 bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to External register TRBMAR_EL1[63:0] when FEAT_TRBE_EXT is implemented.

This register is present only when FEAT_TRBE is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to TRBMAR_EL1 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

TRBMAR_EL1 is a 64-bit register.

Bits [63:12]

Reserved, RES0.

PAS, bits [11:10]
When FEAT_TRBE_EXT is implemented:

Physical address specifier. Defines the PAS attribute for memory addressed by the buffer in External mode.

PASMeaningApplies when
0b00

Secure.

When Secure state is implemented
0b01

Non-secure.

0b10

Root.

When FEAT_RME is implemented
0b11

Realm.

When FEAT_RME is implemented

All other values are reserved.

If the Trace Buffer Unit is using external mode and either TRBMAR_EL1.PAS is set to a reserved value, or the IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED authentication interface prohibits invasive debug of the Security state corresponding to the physical address space selected by TRBMAR_EL1.PAS, then when the Trace Buffer Unit receives trace data from the trace unit, it does not write the trace data to memory and generates a trace buffer management event. That is, if any of the following apply:

This field is ignored by the PE when SelfHostedTraceEnabled() == TRUE.

The reset behavior of this field is:


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

SH, bits [9:8]

Trace buffer shareability domain. Defines the shareability domain for Normal memory used by the trace buffer.

SHMeaning
0b00

Non-shareable.

0b10

Outer Shareable.

0b11

Inner Shareable.

All other values are reserved.

This field is ignored when TRBMAR_EL1.Attr specifies any of the following memory types:

All Device and Normal Inner Non-cacheable Outer Non-cacheable memory regions are always treated as Outer Shareable.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Attr, bits [7:0]

Trace buffer memory type and attributes. Defines the memory type and, for Normal memory, the cacheability attributes, for memory addressed by the trace buffer.

The encoding of this field is the same as that of a MAIR_ELx.Attr<n> field, as follows:

AttrMeaning
0b0000dd00Device memory. See encoding of 'dd' for the type of Device memory.
0b0000dd01If FEAT_XS is implemented: Device memory with the XS attribute set to 0. See encoding of 'dd' for the type of Device memory. Otherwise,UNPREDICTABLE.
0b0000dd1xUNPREDICTABLE.
0booooiiiiwhere oooo != 0000 and iiii != 0000Normal memory. See encoding of 'oooo' and 'iiii' for the type of Normal memory.
0b01000000If FEAT_XS is implemented: Normal Inner Non-cacheable, Outer Non-cacheable memory with the XS attribute set to 0. Otherwise,UNPREDICTABLE.
0b10100000If FEAT_XS is implemented: Normal Inner Write-through Cacheable, Outer Write-through Cacheable, Read-Allocate, No-Write Allocate, Non-transient memory with the XS attribute set to 0. Otherwise,UNPREDICTABLE.
0b11110000If FEAT_MTE2 is implemented: Tagged Normal Inner Write-Back, Outer Write-Back, Read-Allocate, Write-Allocate Non-transient memory. Otherwise,UNPREDICTABLE.
0bxxxx0000where xxxx != 0000 and xxxx != 0100 and xxxx != 1010 and xxxx != 1111UNPREDICTABLE.

dd is encoded as follows:

'dd'Meaning
0b00Device-nGnRnE memory.
0b01Device-nGnRE memory.
0b10Device-nGRE memory.
0b11Device-GRE memory.

oooo is encoded as follows:

'oooo'Meaning
0b0000See encoding of Attr.
0b00RWwhere RW != 00Normal memory, Outer Write-Through Transient.
0b0100Normal memory, Outer Non-cacheable.
0b01RWwhere RW != 00Normal memory, Outer Write-Back Transient.
0b10RWNormal memory, Outer Write-Through Non-transient.
0b11RWNormal memory, Outer Write-Back Non-transient.

R encodes the Outer Read-Allocate policy and W encodes the Outer Write-Allocate policy.

iiii is encoded as follows:

'iiii'Meaning
0b0000See encoding of Attr.
0b00RWwhere RW != 00Normal memory, Inner Write-Through Transient.
0b0100Normal memory, Inner Non-cacheable.
0b01RWwhere RW != 00Normal memory, Inner Write-Back Transient.
0b10RWNormal memory, Inner Write-Through Non-transient.
0b11RWNormal memory, Inner Write-Back Non-transient.

R encodes the Inner Read-Allocate policy and W encodes the Inner Write-Allocate policy.

In oooo and iiii, R and W are encoded as follows:

'R' or 'W'Meaning
0b0No Allocate.
0b1Allocate.

When FEAT_XS is implemented, stage 1 Inner Write-Back Cacheable, Outer Write-Back Cacheable memory types have the XS attribute set to 0.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Accessing TRBMAR_EL1

The PE might ignore a write to TRBMAR_EL1 if any of the following apply:
