Reserved, RES0.
CM, [13]
Cache maintenance fault. For synchronous faults, this bit indicates whether a cache maintenance
operation generated the fault:
0 Abort not caused by a cache maintenance operation.
1 Abort caused by a cache maintenance operation.
ExT, [12]
External abort type. This field indicates whether an AXI Decode or Slave error caused an abort:
0 External abort marked as DECERR.
1 External abort marked as SLVERR.
For aborts other than external aborts this bit always returns 0.
WnR, [11]
Write not Read bit. This field indicates whether the abort was caused by a write or a read access:
0 Abort caused by a read access.
1 Abort caused by a write access.
For faults on CP15 cache maintenance operations, including the VA to PA translation
operations, this bit always returns a value of 1.

Status, [5:0]
Fault Status bits. This field indicates the type of exception generated. Any encoding not listed is
reserved.
0b000000 Address size fault in TTBR0 or TTBR1.
0b0001LL Translation fault, LL bits indicate level.
