mhpmcounter23

Machine Hardware Performance Counter 23

Programmable hardware performance counter.

The hpmcounter23 CSR is a read-only shadow of this CSR. Access to hpmcounter23 is controlled with mcounteren.HPM23 , scounteren.HPM23 , and hcounteren.HPM23 as follows:

Description

Performance counter for event selected in mhpmevent23.EVENT.

+ Increments every time event occurs unless:

+ * mcountinhibit.HPM23 or its alias scountinhibit.HPM23 is set * mhpmevent23.MINH is set and the current privilege level is M * mhpmevent23.SINH or its alias hpmevent23.SINH is set and the current privilege level is (H)S * mhpmevent23.UINH or its alias hpmevent23.UINH is set and the current privilege level is U * mhpmevent23.VSINH or its alias hpmevent23.VSINH is set and the current privilege level is VS * mhpmevent23.VUINH or its alias hpmevent23.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.
