D9.67 TRCSTALLCTLR, Stall Control Register
The TRCSTALLCTLR enables the ETM trace unit to stall the Cortex-A76 core if the ETM trace unit
FIFO overflows.

RES0, [31:9]
RES0 Reserved.
ISTALL, [8]
Instruction stall bit. Controls if the trace unit can stall the core when the instruction trace buffer
space is less than LEVEL:
0 The trace unit does not stall the core.
1 The trace unit can stall the core.
RES0, [7:4]
RES0 Reserved.
LEVEL, [3:2]
Threshold level field. The field can support 4 monotonic levels from 0b00 to 0b11, where:
0b00 Zero invasion. This setting has a greater risk of an ETM trace unit FIFO overflow.
0b11 Maximum invasion occurs but there is less risk of a FIFO overflow.
RES0, [1:0]
RES0 Reserved.
Bit fields and details not provided in this description are architecturally defined. See the Arm
