The SP_EL2 characteristics are:
Holds the capability stack pointer associated with EL2 and Executive state. When executing at EL2, the values of SPSel.SP and the Executive bit of PCC determine the current capability stack pointer:
SPSel.SP | Executive bit of PCC | Current stack pointer |
---|---|---|
0bx | 0b0 | RSP_EL0 |
0b0 | 0b1 | SP_EL0 |
0b1 | 0b1 | SP_EL2 |
This register has no effect if EL2 is not enabled in the current Security state.
RW fields in this register reset to architecturally UNKNOWN values.
SP_EL2 is a 129-bit register.
The SP_EL2 bit assignments are:

Stack pointer.
This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.
This accessibility information only applies to accesses using the MRS or MSR instructions.
When the value of SPSel.SP is 1, this register is also accessible at EL2 as the current stack pointer.
When the value of SPSel.SP is 0, SP_EL0 is used as the current stack pointer at all Exception levels.
Accesses to this register use the following encodings:
