PMULL, PMULL2

Polynomial Multiply Long. This instruction multiplies corresponding elements in the lower or upper half of the vectors of the two source SIMD&FP registers, places the results in a vector, and writes the vector to the destination SIMD&FP register. The destination vector elements are twice as long as the elements that are multiplied.

For information about multiplying polynomials, see Polynomial arithmetic over {0, 1}.

The PMULL instruction extracts each source vector from the lower half of each source register. The PMULL2 instruction extracts each source vector from the upper half of each source register.

The PMULL and PMULL2 variants that operate on 64-bit source elements are defined only when FEAT_PMULL is implemented.

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.

Assembler Symbols

2

Is the second and upper half specifier. If present it causes the operation to be performed on the upper 64 bits of the registers holding the narrower elements, and is encoded in Q:

Q 2
0 [absent]
1 [present]
<Vd>

Is the name of the SIMD&FP destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<Ta>

Is an arrangement specifier, encoded in size:

size <Ta>
00 8H
01 RESERVED
10 RESERVED
11 1Q
The '1Q' arrangement is only allocated in an implementation that includes the Cryptographic Extension, and is otherwise RESERVED.
<Vn>

Is the name of the first SIMD&FP source register, encoded in the "Rn" field.

<Tb>

Is an arrangement specifier, encoded in size:Q:

size Q <Tb>
00 0 8B
00 1 16B
01 x RESERVED
10 x RESERVED
11 0 1D
11 1 2D
<Vm>

Is the name of the second SIMD&FP source register, encoded in the "Rm" field.

Operation

CheckFPAdvSIMDEnabled64(); bits(datasize) operand1 = Vpart[n, part, datasize]; bits(datasize) operand2 = Vpart[m, part, datasize]; bits(2*datasize) result; bits(esize) element1; bits(esize) element2; for e = 0 to elements-1 element1 = Elem[operand1, e, esize]; element2 = Elem[operand2, e, esize]; Elem[result, e, 2*esize] = PolynomialMult(element1, element2); V[d, 2*datasize] = result;
