ID_ISAR3, Instruction Set Attribute Register 3

The ID_ISAR3 characteristics are:

Purpose

Provides information about the instruction sets implemented by the PE in AArch32 state.

Must be interpreted with ID_ISAR0, ID_ISAR1, ID_ISAR2, ID_ISAR4, and ID_ISAR5.

For general information about the interpretation of the ID registers see 'Principles of the ID scheme for fields in ID registers' in the ARMv8 ARM, section G4.14.6.

This register is part of the Identification registers functional group.

Configuration

There is one instance of this register that is used in both Secure and Non-secure states.

AArch32 System register ID_ISAR3 is architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register ID_ISAR3_EL1.

Attributes

ID_ISAR3 is a 32-bit register.

T32EE, bits [31:28]

Indicates the implemented T32EE instructions. Defined values are:

T32EEMeaning
0000

None implemented.

0001

Adds the ENTERX and LEAVEX instructions, and modifies the load behavior to include null checking.

All other values are reserved.

In ARMv8-A the only permitted value is 0000.

TrueNOP, bits [27:24]

Indicates the implemented true NOP instructions. Defined values are:

TrueNOPMeaning
0000

None implemented. This means there are no NOP instructions that do not have any register dependencies.

0001

Adds true NOP instructions in both the T32 and A32 instruction sets. This also permits additional NOP-compatible hints.

All other values are reserved.

In ARMv8-A the only permitted value is 0001.

T32Copy, bits [23:20]

Indicates the support for T32 non flag-setting MOV instructions. Defined values are:

T32CopyMeaning
0000

Not supported. This means that in the T32 instruction set, encoding T1 of the MOV (register) instruction does not support a copy from a low register to a low register.

0001

Adds support for T32 instruction set encoding T1 of the MOV (register) instruction, copying from a low register to a low register.

All other values are reserved.

In ARMv8-A the only permitted value is 0001.

TabBranch, bits [19:16]

Indicates the implemented Table Branch instructions in the T32 instruction set. Defined values are:

TabBranchMeaning
0000

None implemented.

0001

Adds the TBB and TBH instructions.

All other values are reserved.

In ARMv8-A the only permitted value is 0001.

SynchPrim, bits [15:12]

Used in conjunction with ID_ISAR4.SynchPrim_frac to indicate the implemented Synchronization Primitive instructions. Defined values are:

SynchPrimMeaning
0000

If SynchPrim_frac == 0000, no Synchronization Primitives implemented.

0001

If SynchPrim_frac == 0000, adds the LDREX and STREX instructions.

If SynchPrim_frac == 0011, also adds the CLREX, LDREXB, STREXB, and STREXH instructions.

0010

If SynchPrim_frac == 0000, as for [0001, 0011] and also adds the LDREXD and STREXD instructions.

All other combinations of SynchPrim and SynchPrim_frac are reserved.

In ARMv8-A the only permitted value is 0010.

SVC, bits [11:8]

Indicates the implemented SVC instructions. Defined values are:

SVCMeaning
0000

Not implemented.

0001

Adds the SVC instruction.

All other values are reserved.

In ARMv8-A the only permitted value is 0001.

SIMD, bits [7:4]

Indicates the implemented SIMD instructions. Defined values are:

SIMDMeaning
0000

None implemented.

0001

Adds the SSAT and USAT instructions, and the Q bit in the PSRs.

0011

As for 0001, and adds the PKHBT, PKHTB, QADD16, QADD8, QASX, QSUB16, QSUB8, QSAX, SADD16, SADD8, SASX, SEL, SHADD16, SHADD8, SHASX, SHSUB16, SHSUB8, SHSAX, SSAT16, SSUB16, SSUB8, SSAX, SXTAB16, SXTB16, UADD16, UADD8, UASX, UHADD16, UHADD8, UHASX, UHSUB16, UHSUB8, UHSAX, UQADD16, UQADD8, UQASX, UQSUB16, UQSUB8, UQSAX, USAD8, USADA8, USAT16, USUB16, USUB8, USAX, UXTAB16, and UXTB16 instructions. Also adds support for the GE[3:0] bits in the PSRs.

All other values are reserved.

In ARMv8-A the only permitted value is 0011.

The SIMD field relates only to implemented instructions that perform SIMD operations on the general-purpose registers. In an implementation that supports floating-point and Advanced SIMD instructions, MVFR0, MVFR1, and MVFR2 give information about the implemented Advanced SIMD instructions.

Saturate, bits [3:0]

Indicates the implemented Saturate instructions. Defined values are:

SaturateMeaning
0000

None implemented. This means no non-Advanced SIMD saturate instructions are implemented.

0001

Adds the QADD, QDADD, QDSUB, and QSUB instructions, and the Q bit in the PSRs.

All other values are reserved.

In ARMv8-A the only permitted value is 0001.

Traps and enables

For a description of the prioritization of any generated exceptions, see section G1.11.2 (Exception priority order) in the ARM® Architecture Reference Manual, ARMv8, for ARMv8-A architecture profile for exceptions taken to AArch32 state, and section D1.13.2 (Synchronous exception prioritization) for exceptions taken to AArch64 state. Subject to the prioritization rules, the following traps and enables are applicable when accessing this register.
