Bits [63:24]

Reserved, RES0.

CE, bits [23:20]

When Morello is implemented:

Morello architecture.

CEMeaning
0b0000

Morello architecture is not implemented.

0b0001

Morello architecture is implemented.

All other values are reserved.


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

Bits [19:16]

Reserved, RES0.

RAS_frac, bits [15:12]

From Armv8.4:

RAS Extension fractional field.

RAS_fracMeaning
0b0000

If ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.RAS == 0b0001, RAS Extension implemented.

0b0001

If ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.RAS == 0b0001, as 0b0000 and adds support for:

Error records accessed through System registers conform to RAS System Architecture v1.1, which includes simplifications to ERR<n>STATUS, and support for the optional RAS Timestamp and RAS Common Fault Injection Model Extensions.

All other values are reserved.

This field is valid only if ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.RAS == 0b0001.


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

MTE, bits [11:8]

From Armv8.5:

Support for the Memory Tagging Extension.

MTEMeaning
0b0000

Memory Tagging Extension is not implemented.

0b0001

Memory Tagging Extension instructions accessible at EL0 are implemented. Instructions and System Registers defined by the extension not configurably accessible at EL0 are Unallocated and other System Register fields defined by the extension are RES0.

0b0010

Memory Tagging Extension is implemented.

All other values are reserved.

ARMv8.5-MemTag implements the functionality identified by the value 0b0001.

When ID_AA64PFR1_EL1.MTE != 0b0010:


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

SSBS, bits [7:4]

From Armv8.5:

Speculative Store Bypassing controls in AArch64 state. Defined values are:

SSBSMeaning
0b0000

AArch64 provides no mechanism to control the use of Speculative Store Bypassing.

0b0001

AArch64 provides the PSTATE.SSBS mechanism to mark regions that are Speculative Store Bypass Safe.

0b0010

AArch64 provides the PSTATE.SSBS mechanism to mark regions that are Speculative Store Bypassing Safe, and the MSR and MRS instructions to directly read and write the PSTATE.SSBS field

All other values are reserved.


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

BT, bits [3:0]

From Armv8.5:

Branch Target Identification mechanism support in AArch64 state. Defined values are:

BTMeaning
0b0000

The Branch Target Identification mechanism is not implemented.

0b0001

The Branch Target Identification mechanism is implemented.

All other values are reserved.

ARMv8.5-BTI implements the functionality identified by the value 0b0001.

From Armv8.5, the only permitted value is 0b0001.


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.
