Figure 4-95 CTR bit assignments
Table 4-59 on page 4-47 shows the CTR bit assignments.
To access the CTR:
MRC p15,0,<Rt>,c0,c0,1 ; Read CTR into Rt
Register access is encoded as follows:
4.5.25 Virtualization Processor ID Register
The VPIDR characteristics are:
Purpose Holds the value of the Virtualization Processor ID. This is the value
returned by Non-secure EL1 reads of MIDR.See MIDR bit assignments on
page 4-157.
