CRC32B, CRC32H, CRC32W, CRC32X

CRC32 checksum performs a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) calculation on a value held in a general-purpose register. It takes an input CRC value in the first source operand, performs a CRC on the input value in the second source operand, and returns the output CRC value. The second source operand can be 8, 16, 32, or 64 bits. To align with common usage, the bit order of the values is reversed as part of the operation, and the polynomial 0x04C11DB7 is used for the CRC calculation.

In an Armv8.0 implementation, this is an OPTIONAL instruction. From Armv8.1, it is mandatory for all implementations to implement this instruction.


Note

ID_AA64ISAR0_EL1.CRC32 indicates whether this instruction is supported.

Assembler Symbols

<Wd>

Is the 32-bit name of the general-purpose accumulator output register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<Wn>

Is the 32-bit name of the general-purpose accumulator input register, encoded in the "Rn" field.

<Wm>

Is the 32-bit name of the general-purpose data source register, encoded in the "Rm" field.

<Xm>

Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose data source register, encoded in the "Rm" field.

Operation

bits(32) acc = X[n, 32]; // accumulator bits(size) val = X[m, size]; // input value bits(32) poly = 0x04C11DB7<31:0>; bits(32+size) tempacc = BitReverse(acc):Zeros(size); bits(size+32) tempval = BitReverse(val):Zeros(32); // Poly32Mod2 on a bitstring does a polynomial Modulus over {0,1} operation X[d, 32] = BitReverse(Poly32Mod2(tempacc EOR tempval, poly));
