SM4EKEY

SM4 key

This instruction takes an input as a 128-bit vector from the first source SIMD&FP register and a 128-bit constant from the second SIMD&FP register. It derives four iterations of the output key, in accordance with the SM4 standard, returning the 128-bit result to the destination SIMD&FP register.

Assembler Symbols

<Vd>

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

<Vn>
