LSL (immediate, predicated)

Logical shift left by immediate (predicated)

This instruction shifts left by immediate each active element of the source vector, and destructively places the results in the corresponding elements of the source vector. The immediate shift amount is an unsigned value in the range 0 to number of bits per element minus 1. Inactive elements in the destination vector register remain unmodified.

Encoding

LSL <Zdn>.<T>, <Pg>/M, <Zdn>.<T>, #<const>

Decode

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE) && !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); constant bits(4) tsize = tszh:tszl; if tsize == '0000' then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); constant integer esize = 8 << HighestSetBitNZ(tsize); constant integer g = UInt(Pg); constant integer dn = UInt(Zdn); constant integer shift = UInt(tsize:imm3) - esize;

Assembler Symbols

<Zdn>

Is the name of the source and destination scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zdn" field.

<T>

Is the size specifier, encoded in tszh:tszl:

tszh tszl <T>
00 00 RESERVED
00 01 B
00 1x H
01 xx S
1x xx D
<Pg>

Is the name of the governing scalable predicate register P0-P7, encoded in the "Pg" field.

<const>

Is the immediate shift amount, in the range 0 to number of bits per element minus 1, encoded in "tszh:tszl:imm3".

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled(); constant integer VL = CurrentVL; constant integer elements = VL DIV esize; constant integer PL = VL DIV 8; constant bits(VL) operand1 = Z[dn, VL]; constant bits(PL) mask = P[g, PL]; bits(VL) result; for e = 0 to elements-1 constant bits(esize) element1 = Elem[operand1, e, esize]; if ActivePredicateElement(mask, e, esize) then Elem[result, e, esize] = LSL(element1, shift); else Elem[result, e, esize] = Elem[operand1, e, esize]; Z[dn, VL] = result;

Operational information

This instruction is a data-independent-time instruction as described in About PSTATE.DIT.

This instruction might be immediately preceded in program order by a MOVPRFX instruction. The MOVPRFX must conform to all of the following requirements, otherwise the behavior of the MOVPRFX and this instruction is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE:
