LDP (SIMD&FP)

Load Pair of SIMD&FP registers. This instruction loads a pair of SIMD&FP registers from memory. The address that is used for the load is calculated from a base register value and an optional 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.

It has encodings from 3 classes: Post-index , Pre-index and Signed offset

Assembler Symbols

<St1>

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

<St2>

Is the 32-bit name of the second SIMD&FP register to be transferred, encoded in the "Rt2" field.

<Xn|SP>

Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose base register or stack pointer, encoded in the "Rn" field.

<imm>

For the 32-bit post-index and 32-bit pre-index variant: is the signed immediate byte offset, a multiple of 4 in the range -256 to 252, encoded in the "imm7" field as <imm>/4.

For the 64-bit post-index and 64-bit pre-index variant: is the signed immediate byte offset, a multiple of 8 in the range -512 to 504, encoded in the "imm7" field as <imm>/8.

For the 128-bit post-index and 128-bit pre-index variant: is the signed immediate byte offset, a multiple of 16 in the range -1024 to 1008, encoded in the "imm7" field as <imm>/16.

For the 32-bit signed offset variant: is the optional signed immediate byte offset, a multiple of 4 in the range -256 to 252, defaulting to 0 and encoded in the "imm7" field as <imm>/4.

Shared Decode

Operation

CheckFPEnabled64(); bits(64) address; bits(64) address2; bits(datasize) data1; bits(datasize) data2; constant integer dbytes = datasize DIV 8; AccessDescriptor accdesc = CreateAccDescASIMD(MemOp_LOAD, FALSE, tagchecked); if n == 31 then CheckSPAlignment(); address = SP[]; else address = X[n, 64]; if !postindex then address = GenerateAddress(address, offset, accdesc); address2 = GenerateAddress(address, dbytes, accdesc); data1 = Mem[address, dbytes, accdesc]; data2 = Mem[address2, dbytes, accdesc]; if rt_unknown then data1 = bits(datasize) UNKNOWN; data2 = bits(datasize) UNKNOWN; V[t, datasize] = data1; V[t2, datasize] = data2; if wback then if postindex then address = GenerateAddress(address, offset, accdesc); if n == 31 then SP[] = address; else X[n, 64] = address;

Operational information

If PSTATE.DIT is 1, the timing of this instruction is insensitive to the value of the data being loaded or stored.
