Access Instructions

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

MRS <Xt>, PM

(op0 = 0b11, op1 = 0b000, CRn = 0b0100, CRm = 0b0011, op2 = 0b001)

if !(IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_EBEP) && IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_AA64)) then UNDEFINED; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL0 then UNDEFINED; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL1 then X[t, 64] = Zeros(31):PSTATE.PM:Zeros(32); elsif PSTATE.EL == EL2 then X[t, 64] = Zeros(31):PSTATE.PM:Zeros(32); elsif PSTATE.EL == EL3 then X[t, 64] = Zeros(31):PSTATE.PM:Zeros(32);

MSR PM, <Xt>

(op0 = 0b11, op1 = 0b000, CRn = 0b0100, CRm = 0b0011, op2 = 0b001)

if !(IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_EBEP) && IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_AA64)) then UNDEFINED; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL0 then UNDEFINED; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL1 then PSTATE.PM = X[t, 64]<32>; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL2 then PSTATE.PM = X[t, 64]<32>; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL3 then PSTATE.PM = X[t, 64]<32>;
