Description
Common Clock Configuration (CCC)
0 = Indicates that this component and the component at the
opposite end of this Link are operating with asynchronous
reference clock.
1 = Indicates that this component and the component at the
opposite end of this Link are operating with a distributed
common reference clock.

RW
0b
Uncore
The state of this bit affects the L0s Exit Latency reported in
LCAP[14:12] and the N_FTS value advertised during link training.
See L0SLAT at offset 22Ch.
Retrain Link (RL)
0 = Normal operation.
1 = Full Link retraining is initiated by directing the Physical Layer
LTSSM from L0, L0s, or L1 states to the Recovery state.
5
RW-V
0b
Uncore
This bit always returns 0 when read. This bit is cleared
automatically (no need to write a 0).
Link Disable (LD)
0 = Normal operation
1 = Link is disabled. Forces the LTSSM to transition to the
Disabled state (using Recovery) from L0, L0s, or L1 states.
Link retraining happens automatically on the 0 to1 transtion,
just like when coming out of reset.
4
RO
0h
Writes to this bit are immediately reflected in the value read from
the bit, regardless of actual Link state.
After clearing this bit, software must honor timing requirements
defined in the PCIe Specification, Section 6.6.1, with respect to
the first Configuration Read following a Conventional Reset.
Read Completion Boundary (RCB)
Hardwired to 0 to indicate 64 byte.
