BRB INJ: Branch Record Injection into the Branch Record Buffer

Purpose

Injects the Branch Record held in BRBINFINJ_EL1, BRBSRCINJ_EL1, and BRBTGTINJ_EL1 into the Branch Record Buffer.

Configuration

This instruction is present only when FEAT_BRBE is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to BRB INJ are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

BRB INJ is a 64-bit System instruction.

Field descriptions

This instruction has no applicable fields.

The value in the register specified by <Xt> is ignored.

Executing BRB INJ

Rt should be encoded as 0b11111. If the Rt field is not set to 0b11111, it is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE whether:

Accesses to this instruction use the following encodings in the System instruction encoding space:
