GICV_STATUSR, Virtual Machine Error Reporting Status Register

The GICV_STATUSR characteristics are:

Purpose

Provides software with a mechanism to detect:

Accesses to reserved locations.
Writes to read-only locations.
Reads of write-only locations.

Configuration

This register is present only when FEAT_GICv3_LEGACY is implemented and EL2 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to GICV_STATUSR are RES0.

In systems where this register is implemented, Arm expects that when a virtual machine is scheduled, the hypervisor ensures that this register is cleared to 0. The hypervisor might check for illegal accesses when the virtual machine is unscheduled.

Attributes

GICV_STATUSR is a 32-bit register.

RES0																												WROD	RWOD	WRD	RRD

Bits [31:4]

Reserved, RES0.

WROD, bit [3]

Write to an RO location.

WROD	Meaning
0b0	Normal operation.
0b1	A write to an RO location has been detected.

When a violation is detected, software must write 1 to this register to reset it.

RWOD, bit [2]

Read of a WO location.

RWOD	Meaning
0b0	Normal operation.
0b1	A read of a WO location has been detected.

When a violation is detected, software must write 1 to this register to reset it.

WRD, bit [1]

Write to a reserved location.

WRD	Meaning
0b0	Normal operation.
0b1	A write to a reserved location has been detected.

When a violation is detected, software must write 1 to this register to reset it.

RRD, bit [0]

Read of a reserved location.

RRD	Meaning
0b0	Normal operation.
0b1	A read of a reserved location has been detected.

When a violation is detected, software must write 1 to this register to reset it.

Accessing GICV_STATUSR

This is an optional register. If the register is implemented, GICC_STATUSR must also be implemented. If the register is not implemented, the location is RAZ/WI.

This register is used only when System register access is not enabled. If System register access is enabled, this register is not updated. Equivalent function might be provided by appropriate traps and exceptions.

GICV_STATUSR can be accessed through the memory-mapped interfaces:

Component	Offset	Instance
GIC Virtual CPU interface	0x002C	GICV_STATUSR

This interface is accessible as follows:

When GICD_CTLR.DS == 0, accesses to this register are RW.
When an access is Secure, accesses to this register are RW.
When an access is Non-secure, accesses to this register are RW.
