GCSSTR

Guarded Control Stack store register

This instruction stores a doubleword from a register to memory. The address that is used for the store is calculated from a base register.

Encoding: Integer

Variants: FEAT_GCS (ARMv9.4)

GCSSTR <Xt>, [<Xn|SP>]

Decoding algorithm

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_GCS) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF);
constant integer t = UInt(Rt);
constant integer n = UInt(Rn);

Operation

bits(64) address;

constant bits(2) effective_el = PSTATE.EL;

if effective_el == PSTATE.EL then
    CheckGCSSTREnabled();

constant boolean privileged = effective_el != EL0;
constant AccessDescriptor accdesc = CreateAccDescGCS(MemOp_STORE, privileged);

if n == 31 then
    CheckSPAlignment();
    address = SP[64];
else
    address = X[n, 64];

Mem[address, 8, accdesc] = X[t, 64];

Explanations

<Xt>: Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose register to be transferred, encoded in the "Rt" field.
<Xn|SP>: Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose base register or stack pointer, encoded in the "Rn" field.
