PACIB, PACIB1716, PACIBSP, PACIBZ, PACIZB

Pointer Authentication Code for instruction address, using key B

This instruction computes and inserts a Pointer Authentication Code for an instruction address, using a modifier and key B.

The address is:

The modifier is:

If FEAT_PAuth_LR is implemented and PSTATE.PACM is 1, then PACIB1716 and PACIBSP include a second modifier that is:

A PACIBSP instruction has an implicit BTI instruction. The implicit BTI instruction of a PACIBSP instruction is always compatible with PSTATE.BTYPE == 0b01 and PSTATE.BTYPE == 0b10. Controls in SCTLR_ELx configure whether the implicit BTI instruction of a PACIBSP instruction is compatible with PSTATE.BTYPE == 0b11. For more information, see PSTATE.BTYPE.

It has encodings from 2 classes: Integer and System

Assembler Symbols

<Xd>

Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<Xn|SP>

Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose source register or stack pointer, encoded in the "Rn" field.

Operation

if source_is_sp then if IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_PAuth_LR) && PSTATE.PACM == '1' then X[d, 64] = AddPACIB2(X[d, 64], SP[64], PC64); else X[d, 64] = AddPACIB(X[d, 64], SP[64]); else if IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_PAuth_LR) && PSTATE.PACM == '1' && pacib1716 then X[d, 64] = AddPACIB2(X[d, 64], X[n, 64], X[15, 64]); else X[d, 64] = AddPACIB(X[d, 64], X[n, 64]);
