<label>

Is the program label to be unconditionally branched to. Its offset from the address of this instruction, in the range +/-128MB, is encoded as "imm26" times 4.

Operation

if IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_GCS) && GCSPCREnabled(PSTATE.EL) then AddGCSRecord(PC64 + 4); X[d, 64] = PC64 + 4; boolean branch_conditional = FALSE; BranchTo(PC64 + offset, BranchType_DIRCALL, branch_conditional);
