STTRB

Store register byte (unprivileged)

This instruction stores a byte from a 32-bit register to memory. The address that is used for the store is calculated from a base register and an immediate offset.

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.

    Decoding algorithm

    constant bits(64) offset = SignExtend(imm9, 64);

    Operation

    constant integer t = UInt(Rt);
constant integer n = UInt(Rn);

constant integer datasize = 8;
constant boolean nontemporal = FALSE;
constant boolean tagchecked = n != 31;
    bits(64) address;

constant boolean privileged = AArch64.IsUnprivAccessPriv();
constant AccessDescriptor accdesc = CreateAccDescGPR(MemOp_STORE, nontemporal, privileged,
                                                     tagchecked);

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

address = AddressAdd(address, offset, accdesc);

Mem[address, datasize DIV 8, accdesc] = X[t, datasize];

    Explanations

    <Wt>: Is the 32-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.
    <simm>: Is the optional signed immediate byte offset, in the range -256 to 255, defaulting to 0 and encoded in the "imm9" field.

    Operational Notes

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