mhpmcounter18

Machine Hardware Performance Counter 18

Programmable hardware performance counter.

The hpmcounter18 CSR is a read-only shadow of this CSR. Access to hpmcounter18 is controlled with mcounteren.HPM18 , scounteren.HPM18 , and hcounteren.HPM18 as follows:

Description

Performance counter for event selected in mhpmevent18.EVENT.

+ Increments every time event occurs unless:

+ * mcountinhibit.HPM18 or its alias scountinhibit.HPM18 is set * mhpmevent18.MINH is set and the current privilege level is M * mhpmevent18.SINH or its alias hpmevent18.SINH is set and the current privilege level is (H)S * mhpmevent18.UINH or its alias hpmevent18.UINH is set and the current privilege level is U * mhpmevent18.VSINH or its alias hpmevent18.VSINH is set and the current privilege level is VS * mhpmevent18.VUINH or its alias hpmevent18.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.
