mhpmcounter15

Machine Hardware Performance Counter 15

Programmable hardware performance counter.

The hpmcounter15 CSR is a read-only shadow of this CSR. Access to hpmcounter15 is controlled with mcounteren.HPM15 , scounteren.HPM15 , and hcounteren.HPM15 as follows:

Description

Performance counter for event selected in mhpmevent15.EVENT.

+ Increments every time event occurs unless:

+ * mcountinhibit.HPM15 or its alias scountinhibit.HPM15 is set * mhpmevent15.MINH is set and the current privilege level is M * mhpmevent15.SINH or its alias hpmevent15.SINH is set and the current privilege level is (H)S * mhpmevent15.UINH or its alias hpmevent15.UINH is set and the current privilege level is U * mhpmevent15.VSINH or its alias hpmevent15.VSINH is set and the current privilege level is VS * mhpmevent15.VUINH or its alias hpmevent15.VUINH is set and the current privilege level is VU

Unimplemented performance counter. Must be read-only 0 (access does not cause trap).

Type

RO	Read-Only Field has a hardwired value that does not change. Writes to an RO field are ignored.
