Fields

`OF`

Location: mhpmevent6[63]
Description: Overflow status and interrupt disable.

The OF bit is set when the corresponding hpmcounter overflows, and remains set until written by software. Since hpmcounter values are unsigned values, overflow is defined as unsigned overflow of the implemented counter bits.

The OF bit is sticky; it stays set until explictly cleared by a CSR write.

A Local Counter Overflow Interrupt (LCOFI) is generated when OF is clear and mhpmcounter6 overflows.
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

`MINH`

Location: mhpmevent6[62]
Description: When set, mhpmcounter6 does not increment while the hart in operating in M-mode.
Type

RW	Read-Write Field is writable by software. Any value that fits in the field is acceptable and shall be retained for subsequent reads.

Reset value: UNDEFINED_LEGAL

`SINH`

Location: mhpmevent6[61]
Description: When set, mhpmcounter6 does not increment while the hart in operating in (H)S-mode.
Type

RW	Read-Write Field is writable by software. Any value that fits in the field is acceptable and shall be retained for subsequent reads.

Reset value: UNDEFINED_LEGAL

`UINH`

Location: mhpmevent6[60]
Description: When set, mhpmcounter6 does not increment while the hart in operating in U-mode.
Type

RW	Read-Write Field is writable by software. Any value that fits in the field is acceptable and shall be retained for subsequent reads.

Reset value: UNDEFINED_LEGAL

`VSINH`

Location: mhpmevent6[59]
Description: When set, mhpmcounter6 does not increment while the hart in operating in VS-mode.
Type

RW	Read-Write Field is writable by software. Any value that fits in the field is acceptable and shall be retained for subsequent reads.

Reset value: UNDEFINED_LEGAL

`VUINH`

Location: mhpmevent6[58]
Description: When set, mhpmcounter6 does not increment while the hart in operating in VU-mode.
Type

RW	Read-Write Field is writable by software. Any value that fits in the field is acceptable and shall be retained for subsequent reads.

Reset value: UNDEFINED_LEGAL

`EVENT`

Location: mhpmevent6[57:0]
Description: Event selector for performance counter mhpmcounter6.
Type

RW	Read-Write Field is writable by software. Any value that fits in the field is acceptable and shall be retained for subsequent reads.

Reset value

UNDEFINED_LEGAL

Software write

This field has special behavior when written by software (e.g., through csrrw).

When software tries to write csr_value, the field will be written with the return value of the function below.

if (ary_includes?<$array_size(HPM_EVENTS), 58>(HPM_EVENTS, csr_value.EVENT)) {
  return csr_value.EVENT;
} else {
  return UNDEFINED_LEGAL_DETERMINISTIC;
}
