Counter Configuration (CNTRCFG_7) – Offset 1138
The CNTRCFG registers specify the set of events to be monitored by each counter. They also control interrupt generation behavior and the behavior upon overflow. The number of CNTRCFG registers corresponds to the number of counter registers specified in PERFCAP. The default value of these registers is 0. All fields except Enable are read-only while the counter is enabled.
| Bit Range | Default | Access | Field Name and Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 63:60 | 0h | RO | Reserved |
| 59:32 | 0h | RW/V/L | CNTRCFG Events (EVENTS) Specifies the set of events to be monitored by this counter, corresponding to the Event Category selected. The set of supported events depends on the value of Event Category. Unsupported bits are ignored. The definition of some Events in each Event Category may be implementation specific. |
| 31:12 | 0h | RO | Reserved |
| 11:8 | 0h | RW/V/L | Event Category (EVNTCAT) Specifies the Event Category to associate with this counter. Based on the Event Category selected, different sets of events can be selected in the Events field. |
| 7:3 | 0h | RO | Reserved |
| 2 | 0h | RW/V/L | Global Freeze on Overflow (GFOVF) 0: No global freeze. |
| 1 | 0h | RW/V/L | Interrupt on Overflow (INTOVF) 0: No Interrupt is generated. |
| 0 | 0h | RW/V/L | CNTRCFG Enable (ENABLE) 0: This counter is disabled. |
