LDPSW

Load Pair of Registers Signed Word calculates an address from a base register value and an immediate offset, loads two 32-bit words from memory, sign-extends them, and writes them to two registers. For information about memory accesses, see Load/Store addressing modes.

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

Assembler Symbols

<Xt1>

Is the 64-bit name of the first general-purpose register to be transferred, encoded in the "Rt" field.

<Xt2>

Is the 64-bit name of the second general-purpose 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 post-index and 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 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

integer n = UInt(Rn); integer t = UInt(Rt); integer t2 = UInt(Rt2); bits(64) offset = LSL(SignExtend(imm7, 64), 2); boolean tagchecked = wback || n != 31; boolean rt_unknown = FALSE; boolean wb_unknown = FALSE; if wback && (t == n || t2 == n) && n != 31 then Constraint c = ConstrainUnpredictable(Unpredictable_WBOVERLAPLD); assert c IN {Constraint_WBSUPPRESS, Constraint_UNKNOWN, Constraint_UNDEF, Constraint_NOP}; case c of when Constraint_WBSUPPRESS wback = FALSE; // writeback is suppressed when Constraint_UNKNOWN wb_unknown = TRUE; // writeback is UNKNOWN when Constraint_UNDEF UNDEFINED; when Constraint_NOP EndOfInstruction(); if t == t2 then Constraint c = ConstrainUnpredictable(Unpredictable_LDPOVERLAP); assert c IN {Constraint_UNKNOWN, Constraint_UNDEF, Constraint_NOP}; case c of when Constraint_UNKNOWN rt_unknown = TRUE; // result is UNKNOWN when Constraint_UNDEF UNDEFINED; when Constraint_NOP EndOfInstruction();

Operation

bits(64) address; bits(64) address2; bits(32) data1; bits(32) data2; boolean privileged = PSTATE.EL != EL0; AccessDescriptor accdesc = CreateAccDescGPR(MemOp_LOAD, FALSE, privileged, tagchecked); if n == 31 then CheckSPAlignment(); address = SP[]; else address = X[n, 64]; if !postindex then address = GenerateAddress(address, offset, accdesc); address2 = GenerateAddress(address, 4, accdesc); data1 = Mem[address, 4, accdesc]; data2 = Mem[address2, 4, accdesc]; if rt_unknown then data1 = bits(32) UNKNOWN; data2 = bits(32) UNKNOWN; X[t, 64] = SignExtend(data1, 64); X[t2, 64] = SignExtend(data2, 64); if wback then if wb_unknown then address = bits(64) UNKNOWN; elsif 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.
