mhpmcounter6

Machine Hardware Performance Counter 6

Programmable hardware performance counter.

The hpmcounter6 CSR is a read-only shadow of this CSR. Access to hpmcounter6 is controlled with mcounteren.HPM6 , scounteren.HPM6 , and hcounteren.HPM6 as follows:

Description

Performance counter for event selected in mhpmevent6.EVENT.

+ Increments every time event occurs unless:

+ * mcountinhibit.HPM6 or its alias scountinhibit.HPM6 is set * mhpmevent6.MINH is set and the current privilege level is M * mhpmevent6.SINH or its alias hpmevent6.SINH is set and the current privilege level is (H)S * mhpmevent6.UINH or its alias hpmevent6.UINH is set and the current privilege level is U * mhpmevent6.VSINH or its alias hpmevent6.VSINH is set and the current privilege level is VS * mhpmevent6.VUINH or its alias hpmevent6.VUINH is set and the current privilege level is VU

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

Type

RW-H	Read-Write with Hardware update Field is writable by software. Any value that fits in the field is acceptable. Hardware also updates the field without an explicit software write.

Reset value: UNDEFINED_LEGAL
