DCPS2

Debug change PE state to EL2

This instruction, when executed in Debug state:

• If executed at EL0 or EL1, changes the current Exception level and SP to EL2 using SP_EL2.
• Otherwise, if executed at ELx, selects SP_ELx.

The target exception level of a DCPS2 instruction is:

• EL2 if the instruction is executed at an exception level that is not EL3.
• EL3 if the instruction is executed at EL3.

When the target Exception level of a DCPS2 instruction is ELx, on executing this instruction:

• ELR_ELx becomes UNKNOWN.
• SPSR_ELx becomes UNKNOWN.
• ESR_ELx becomes UNKNOWN.
• DLR_EL0 and DSPSR_EL0 become UNKNOWN.
• The endianness is set according to SCTLR_ELx.EE.

This instruction is always UNDEFINED in Non-debug state.

This instruction is UNDEFINED at the following exception levels:

• All exception levels if EL2 is not implemented.
• At EL0 and EL1 if EL2 is disabled in the current Security state.
