The CHCR_EL2 characteristics are:
Provides control over privileged access to capabilities
This register is present only when Morello is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to CHCR_EL2 are UNDEFINED.
If EL2 is not implemented, this register is RES0 from EL3.
The bits in this register behave as if they are 0 for all purposes other than direct reads of the register if EL2 is not enabled in the current Security state.
RW fields in this register reset to architecturally UNKNOWN values.
CHCR_EL2 is a 64-bit register.
The CHCR_EL2 bit assignments are:

Access to privileged capability creating instructions, SCTAG and STCT.
SETTAG | Meaning |
---|---|
0b0 |
No effect. |
0b1 |
Privileged capability creating instructions clear the tag if executed at EL1. |
This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.
Accesses to this register use the following encodings:
