ID_ISAR3: Instruction Set Attribute Register 3

Purpose

Provides information about the instruction sets implemented by the PE in AArch32 state.

Must be interpreted with ID_ISAR0, ID_ISAR1, ID_ISAR2, ID_ISAR4, and ID_ISAR5.

For general information about the interpretation of the ID registers see 'Principles of the ID scheme for fields in ID registers'.

Configuration

AArch32 System register ID_ISAR3 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register ID_ISAR3_EL1[31:0].

This register is present only when EL1 is capable of using AArch32. Otherwise, direct accesses to ID_ISAR3 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

ID_ISAR3 is a 32-bit register.

T32EETrueNOPT32CopyTabBranchSynchPrimSVCSIMDSaturate

T32EE, bits [31:28]

Indicates the implemented T32EE instructions.

The value of this field is an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED choice of:

T32EEMeaning
0b0000

None implemented.

0b0001

Adds the ENTERX and LEAVEX instructions, and modifies the load behavior to include null checking.

All other values are reserved.

In Armv8-A, the only permitted value is 0b0000.

Access to this field is RO.

TrueNOP, bits [27:24]

Indicates the implemented true NOP instructions.

The value of this field is an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED choice of:

TrueNOPMeaning
0b0000

None implemented. This means there are no NOP instructions that do not have any register dependencies.

0b0001

Adds true NOP instructions in both the T32 and A32 instruction sets. This also permits additional NOP-compatible hints.

All other values are reserved.

In Armv8-A, the only permitted value is 0b0001.

Access to this field is RO.

T32Copy, bits [23:20]

Indicates the support for T32 non flag-setting MOV instructions.

The value of this field is an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED choice of:

T32CopyMeaning
0b0000

Not supported. This means that in the T32 instruction set, encoding T1 of the MOV (register) instruction does not support a copy from a low register to a low register.

0b0001

Adds support for T32 instruction set encoding T1 of the MOV (register) instruction, copying from a low register to a low register.

All other values are reserved.

In Armv8-A, the only permitted value is 0b0001.

Access to this field is RO.

TabBranch, bits [19:16]

Indicates the implemented Table Branch instructions in the T32 instruction set.

The value of this field is an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED choice of:

TabBranchMeaning
0b0000

None implemented.

0b0001

Adds the TBB and TBH instructions.

All other values are reserved.

In Armv8-A, the only permitted value is 0b0001.

Access to this field is RO.

SynchPrim, bits [15:12]

Used in conjunction with ID_ISAR4.SynchPrim_frac to indicate the implemented Synchronization Primitive instructions.

The value of this field is an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED choice of:

SynchPrimMeaning
0b0000

If SynchPrim_frac == 0b000, no Synchronization Primitives implemented.

0b0001

If SynchPrim_frac == 0b000, adds the LDREX and STREX instructions.

If SynchPrim_frac == 0b011, also adds the CLREX, LDREXB, STREXB, and STREXH instructions.

0b0010

If SynchPrim_frac == 0b000, as for [0b001, 0b011] and also adds the LDREXD and STREXD instructions.

All other combinations of SynchPrim and SynchPrim_frac are reserved.

In Armv8-A, the only permitted value is 0b0010.

Access to this field is RO.

SVC, bits [11:8]

Indicates the implemented SVC instructions.

The value of this field is an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED choice of:

SVCMeaning
0b0000

Not implemented.

0b0001

Adds the SVC instruction.

All other values are reserved.

In Armv8-A, the only permitted value is 0b0001.

Access to this field is RO.

SIMD, bits [7:4]

Indicates the implemented SIMD instructions.

The value of this field is an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED choice of:

SIMDMeaning
0b0000

None implemented.

0b0001

Adds the SSAT and USAT instructions, and the Q bit in the PSRs.

0b0011

As for 0b0001, and adds the PKHBT, PKHTB, QADD16, QADD8, QASX, QSUB16, QSUB8, QSAX, SADD16, SADD8, SASX, SEL, SHADD16, SHADD8, SHASX, SHSUB16, SHSUB8, SHSAX, SSAT16, SSUB16, SSUB8, SSAX, SXTAB16, SXTB16, UADD16, UADD8, UASX, UHADD16, UHADD8, UHASX, UHSUB16, UHSUB8, UHSAX, UQADD16, UQADD8, UQASX, UQSUB16, UQSUB8, UQSAX, USAD8, USADA8, USAT16, USUB16, USUB8, USAX, UXTAB16, and UXTB16 instructions. Also adds support for the GE[3:0] bits in the PSRs.

All other values are reserved.

In Armv8-A, the only permitted value is 0b0011.

The SIMD field relates only to implemented instructions that perform SIMD operations on the general-purpose registers. In an implementation that supports Advanced SIMD and floating-point instructions, MVFR0, MVFR1, and MVFR2 give information about the implemented Advanced SIMD instructions.

Access to this field is RO.

Saturate, bits [3:0]
