The PMBPTR_EL1 characteristics are:
Defines the current write pointer for the profiling buffer.
This register is present only when SPE is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to PMBPTR_EL1 are UNDEFINED.
RW fields in this register reset to architecturally UNKNOWN values.
PMBPTR_EL1 is a 64-bit register.
The PMBPTR_EL1 bit assignments are:
63 | 62 | 61 | 60 | 59 | 58 | 57 | 56 | 55 | 54 | 53 | 52 | 51 | 50 | 49 | 48 | 47 | 46 | 45 | 44 | 43 | 42 | 41 | 40 | 39 | 38 | 37 | 36 | 35 | 34 | 33 | 32 |

Current write address. Defines the virtual address of the next entry to be written to the buffer.
The architecture places restrictions on the values software can write to the pointer. For more information see 'Restrictions on the current write pointer'.
As a result, an implementation might treat some of bits[M:0], where M is defined by PMBIDR_EL1.Align, as RES0.
On a management interrupt, PMBPTR_EL1 is frozen.
On a Warm reset, this field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.
Accesses to this register use the following encodings:
