SVC
Supervisor call to allow application code to call the OS. It generates an exception targeting exception level 1 (EL1).
Syntax
SVC #
imm
Where:
imm
-
Is a 16-bit unsigned immediate, in the range 0 to 65535.
Usage
Supervisor Call causes an exception to be taken to EL1.
On executing an SVC
instruction, the PE records the exception as a Supervisor Call exception, using the EC value 0x15, and the value of the immediate argument. This is reported in:
- ESR_ELx, if the exception is taken to an Exception level that is using AArch64.
- HSR in the ARMv8-A Architecture Reference Manual, if the exception is taken to an Exception level that is using AArch32. See Use of the HSR in the ARMv8-A Architecture Reference Manual.
