Can mhpmevent14h be accessed from any privilege level?
No. The official CSR table lists mhpmevent14h as a Machine-mode MRW CSR; it exists only on RV32 when Sscofpmf is implemented.

Official Basis & Search Notes
mhpmevent14h is not an independent event selector; it is the RV32 access window for the upper 32 bits of mhpmevent14. It carries Sscofpmf OF and mode-filtering fields.
Sscofpmf standardizes mhpmevent14[63:58] as OF and xINH fields.
mhpmevent14h[31:26] correspond to those standardized upper bits.
The upper event-selector bits remain part of the platform-defined event encoding.
What To Check First When Reading This CSR
- - mhpmevent14h is an RV32-only high-half CSR provided with Sscofpmf.
- - Reading it is equivalent to reading bits 63:32 of mhpmevent14.
- - If Supervisor mode is implemented, the OF bit can also be observed through the corresponding read-only shadow bit in scountovf.
Risk Checks Before Writing
- - Preserve WPRI bits, and do not change EVENT_HI without knowing the platform event encoding.
- - Writing mhpmevent14h changes the upper 32 bits of mhpmevent14, including OF and xINH controls.
Put It Back Into A Real Flow
1
On RV32, read mhpmevent14h to inspect the upper-half state of mhpmevent14.
2
Handle OF or mode-filtering bits as needed.
3
If Supervisor mode is implemented, check overflow state together with mhpmcounter14 readings and scountovf.
FAQ
Should mhpmevent14h and mhpmevent14 be written together?
On RV32, mhpmevent14h reads and writes bits 63:32 of mhpmevent14; accesses to the low-half CSR affect only bits 31:0.
