SETFFR

Initialise the first-fault register to all true

Initialise the first-fault register (FFR) to all true prior to a sequence of first-fault or non-fault loads. This instruction is unpredicated.

This instruction is illegal when executed in Streaming SVE mode, unless FEAT_SME_FA64 is implemented and enabled.

Encoding: SVE

Variants: FEAT_SVE (PROFILE_A)

Operational Notes

If PSTATE.DIT is 1:

• The execution time of this instruction is independent of:
  • The values of the data supplied in any of its registers.
  • The values of the NZCV flags.
• The response of this instruction to asynchronous exceptions does not vary based on:
  • The values of the data supplied in any of its registers.
  • The values of the NZCV flags.
