DUP (general)

Duplicate general-purpose register to vector

This instruction duplicates the contents of the source general-purpose register into a scalar or each element in a vector, and writes the result to the SIMD&FP destination register.

Depending on the settings in the CPACR_EL1, CPTR_EL2, and CPTR_EL3 registers, and the current Security state and Exception level, an attempt to execute the instruction might be trapped.

Encoding

DUP <Vd>.<T>, <R><n>

Decode for this encoding

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_AdvSIMD) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; if imm5 == 'x0000' then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; if imm5 == 'x1000' && Q == '0' then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; let size : integer{} = LowestSetBitNZ(imm5[3:0]); let d : integer{} = UInt(Rd); let n : integer{} = UInt(Rn); // imm5<4:size+1> is IGNORED let esize : integer{} = 8 << size; let datasize : integer{} = 64 << UInt(Q);

Assembler Symbols

<Vd>

Is the name of the SIMD&FP destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<T>

Is an arrangement specifier, encoded in (imm5 :: Q):

imm5 Q <T>
x0000 x RESERVED
xxxx1 0 8B
xxxx1 1 16B
xxx10 0 4H
xxx10 1 8H
xx100 0 2S
xx100 1 4S
x1000 0 RESERVED
x1000 1 2D
<R>

Is the width specifier for the general-purpose source register, encoded in imm5:

imm5 <R>
x0000 RESERVED
xxxx1 W
xxx10 W
xx100 W
x1000 X
Unspecified bits in "imm5" are ignored but should be set to zero by an assembler.
<n>

Is the number [0-30] of the general-purpose source register or ZR (31), encoded in the "Rn" field.

Operation

AArch64_CheckFPAdvSIMDEnabled(); let element : bits(esize) = X{}(n); let elements : integer = datasize DIV esize; var result : bits(datasize); for e = 0 to elements-1 do result[e*:esize] = element; end; V{datasize}(d) = result;

Operational information

This instruction is a data-independent-time instruction as described in About PSTATE.DIT.
