LDR (immediate, SIMD&FP) -- A64

Load SIMD&FP Register (immediate offset). This instruction loads an element from memory, and writes the result as a scalar to the SIMD&FP register. The address that is used for the load is calculated from a base register value, a signed immediate offset, and an optional offset that is a multiple of the element size.

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.

Post-index

integer scale = UInt(opc<1>:size); if scale > 4 then UNDEFINED; boolean wback = TRUE; boolean postindex = TRUE; bits(64) offset = SignExtend(imm9, 64);

Pre-index

integer scale = UInt(opc<1>:size); if scale > 4 then UNDEFINED; boolean wback = TRUE; boolean postindex = FALSE; bits(64) offset = SignExtend(imm9, 64);

Unsigned offset

integer scale = UInt(opc<1>:size); if scale > 4 then UNDEFINED; boolean wback = FALSE; boolean postindex = FALSE; bits(64) offset = LSL(ZeroExtend(imm12, 64), scale);

Assembler Symbols

	For the 32-bit variant: is the optional positive immediate byte offset, a multiple of 4 in the range 0 to 16380, defaulting to 0 and encoded in the "imm12" field as <pimm>/4.
	For the 64-bit variant: is the optional positive immediate byte offset, a multiple of 8 in the range 0 to 32760, defaulting to 0 and encoded in the "imm12" field as <pimm>/8.
	For the 128-bit variant: is the optional positive immediate byte offset, a multiple of 16 in the range 0 to 65520, defaulting to 0 and encoded in the "imm12" field as <pimm>/16.

Shared Decode

integer t = UInt(Rt); integer n = UInt(Rn); constant integer datasize = 8 << scale; boolean nontemporal = FALSE; boolean tagchecked = wback || n != 31;

Operation

CheckFPEnabled64(); bits(64) address; AccessDescriptor accdesc = CreateAccDescASIMD(MemOp_LOAD, nontemporal, tagchecked); if n == 31 then CheckSPAlignment(); address = SP[]; else address = X[n, 64]; if !postindex then address = AddressAdd(address, offset, accdesc); V[t, datasize] = Mem[address, datasize DIV 8, accdesc]; if wback then if postindex then address = AddressAdd(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.
