If the code wrote CPACR_EL1_ZEN_EL0EN | > CPACR_EL1_ZEN_EL1EN to the CPACR_EL1 you wouldn't get the expected behaviour. This seemed natural-ish if you believe that disabling at EL1 implies disabling at EL0. This is consistent with the way the traps at EL2/3 work, and lack of this property would be a sort of privilege inversion. The meanings of the bits are not orthogonal, but it's still useful to be able to twiddle EL0EN by itself when EL1EN is set (since we wan't to control access for EL0 but leave EL1 access enabled). Maybe comments would be sufficient: #define CPACR_EL1_ZEN_EL1EN ... /* enable EL1 access */ #define CPACR_EL1_ZEN_EL0EN ... /* enable EL0 access, if EL1EN is also set */ I'm not sure how to make the names both reasonably terse and self- escribing, but I'm open to ideas.
