mhpmcounter16

Machine Hardware Performance Counter 16

Programmable hardware performance counter.

The hpmcounter16 CSR is a read-only shadow of this CSR. Access to hpmcounter16 is controlled with mcounteren.HPM16 , scounteren.HPM16 , and hcounteren.HPM16 as follows:

Description

Performance counter for event selected in mhpmevent16.EVENT.

+ Increments every time event occurs unless:

+ * mcountinhibit.HPM16 or its alias scountinhibit.HPM16 is set * mhpmevent16.MINH is set and the current privilege level is M * mhpmevent16.SINH or its alias hpmevent16.SINH is set and the current privilege level is (H)S * mhpmevent16.UINH or its alias hpmevent16.UINH is set and the current privilege level is U * mhpmevent16.VSINH or its alias hpmevent16.VSINH is set and the current privilege level is VS * mhpmevent16.VUINH or its alias hpmevent16.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.
