LDR (literal, SIMD&FP)

Load SIMD&FP register (PC-relative literal)

This instruction loads a SIMD&FP register from memory. The address that is used for the load is calculated from the PC value and an immediate offset.

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.

Assembler Symbols

<St>

Is the 32-bit name of the SIMD&FP register to be loaded, encoded in the "Rt" field.

<label>

Is the program label from which the data is to be loaded. Its offset from the address of this instruction, in the range +/-1MB, is encoded as "imm19" times 4.

<Dt>

Is the 64-bit name of the SIMD&FP register to be loaded, encoded in the "Rt" field.

<Qt>

Is the 128-bit name of the SIMD&FP register to be loaded, encoded in the "Rt" field.

Operation

let address : bits(64) = PC64() + offset; AArch64_CheckFPEnabled(); let privileged : boolean = PSTATE.EL != EL0; let accdesc : AccessDescriptor = CreateAccDescASIMD(MemOp_LOAD, nontemporal, tagchecked, privileged); let data : bits(size*8) = Mem{size*8}(address, accdesc); V{size*8}(t) = data;
