CFP

Control Flow Prediction Restriction by Context prevents control flow predictions that predict execution addresses, based on information gathered from earlier execution within a particular execution context, from allowing later speculative execution within that context to be observable through side-channels.

For more information, see CFP RCTX, Control Flow Prediction Restriction by Context.

This is an alias of SYS. This means:

System
(FEAT_SPECRES)

CFP RCTX, <Xt>

is equivalent to

SYS #3, C7, C3, #4, <Xt>

and is always the preferred disassembly.

Assembler Symbols

<Xt>

Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose source register, encoded in the "Rt" field.
