LDTP

Load unprivileged pair of registers

This instruction calculates an address from a base register value and an immediate offset, loads two 64-bit doublewords from memory, and writes them to two registers.

Explicit Memory effects produced by the instruction behave as if the instruction was executed at EL0 if the Effective value of PSTATE.UAO is 0 and either:

The instruction is executed at EL1.

The instruction is executed at EL2 when the Effective value of HCR_EL2.{E2H, TGE} is {1, 1}.

Otherwise, the Explicit Memory effects operate with the restrictions determined by the Exception level at which the instruction is executed.

For information about addressing modes, see Load/Store addressing modes.

Explanations

<Xt1>: Is the 64-bit name of the first general-purpose register to be transferred, encoded in the "Rt" field.
<Xt2>: Is the 64-bit name of the second general-purpose register to be transferred, encoded in the "Rt2" field.
<Xn|SP>: Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose base register or stack pointer, encoded in the "Rn" field.
<imm>: For the "Post-index" and "Pre-index" variants: is the signed immediate byte offset, a multiple of 8 in the range -512 to 504, encoded in the "imm7" field as <imm>/8.
<imm>: For the "Signed offset" variant: is the optional signed immediate byte offset, a multiple of 8 in the range -512 to 504, defaulting to 0 and encoded in the "imm7" field as <imm>/8.

Operational Notes

If PSTATE.DIT is 1, the timing of this instruction is insensitive to the value of the data being loaded or stored.
